ONTARIO — A man who claimed to be a Secret Service agent is in federal custody after an attempt to enter a restricted area at Ontario International Airport.

Mostafa Mansoori, 20, of Rancho Cucamonga has been charged by federal prosecutors on suspicion of making false statements and attempting to enter a secure area under false pretenses.

Mansoori was detained by airport police on March 15, then turned over to the Secret Service.

He tried to drive his 2003 blue Honda Civic through a gate at the airport after police officers used a security identification card to enter before him, court documents show. The gate closed before he could follow.

Confronted by a guard, Mansoori reportedly said he was on the security detail for President Bush and was attempting to catch a jet at the facility.

During the early 90's, around 1993-1995, a now retired CIA agent Robert Beir (last name may need spell check sorry) had the plan to assasinate Saddam Hussein and throw him out of power. This plan was to work with the Kurds in Northern Iraq, the plan was to block both sides of the bridge that Saddam Hussein's convoy was going to cross when he was going to travel from his hometown of Tikrit to Baghdad, the plan was as soon as the convoy of Saddams's vehicles crossed the bridge half way, that the retired CIA agent Robert Beir and the Kurdish were going to block both ends of the bridge and start firing simutaneously on Saddam's convoy until all of Saddam's body guards and other personal including Saddam were killed.

Under Executive Order 12333 it states something like "any government official acting on behalf of the CIA or NSA or any other agency or top secret such as "The Delta Force" or Navy Seals are NOT PERMITTED TO PARTICIPATE IN AN ASSASINATION ATTEMPT TO OVERTHROW A FORIEGN GOVERNMENT."

Retired CIA agent Robert Beir discontinued the plan, and believed that the plan wasnt safe enough to execute, so he pulled out. However, the Kurds went on and most of them got killed or injured, and the assasination attempt on Saddam Hussein had failed. During the same time period, Saddam Hussein had a plan to kill President Bush's father while he was going to visit Kuwait.

Suspicion?
What? They are open to the possibility he really is a Secret Service Agent?

The rest of the AP article... from Contra Costa Times
He produced only a California driver's license and an alien registration card. He was wearing a black suit with pilot's wings and sunglasses, court documents said. Two days before that arrest, Mansoori was cited for trespassing on a naval air station in Imperial County.

Federal prosecutors are evaluating Mansoori for competence. He is being held without bail at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Los Angeles.

A decision on whether he will be prosecuted will take several weeks, according to Sheri Pym, an assistant U.S. attorney in Riverside.

"We'll look at everything," Pym told the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin. "We just need to find out all of the circumstances before we make a decision."

Mansoori, a part-time student at Chaffey College in Rancho Cucamonga, was also interviewed by the FBI in May 2003 when he attempted to gain access to a restricted rooftop of the Stratosphere Hotel in Las Vegas. He had a scanner.

Secret Service impersonator arrested at Ontario airport

By BRENDA GAZZAR, STAFF WRITER

ONTARIO - A Chaffey College student is in federal custody after trying to gain entry to the Ontario International Airport airfield and posing as a Secret Service agent.

Federal prosecutors have charged Mostafa Mansoori of Rancho Cucamonga, 20, with making false statements and attempting entry to a secure airport area by false pretenses, court documents show.

The Ontario Airport Police Department on Monday detained Mansoori, who said he was "on a protective assignment for President Bush," and then notified the Secret Service, which is conducting an investigation.

"The fact that the individual was caught and didn't gain access is the biggest thing for people to understand," said Michael Moregon, resident agent in charge for the U.S. Secret Service in Riverside. "The cooperation between the federal agencies and local authorities resulted in this guy being stopped. It starts with the fact that the Ontario Airport Police actually responded to him being there and they detained him. They could have let him go."

Two days before his arrest, Mansoori was cited for trespassing on a naval air station in Imperial County, according to court documents.

Federal prosecutors said Mansoori will be evaluated for competence. A decision about whether he will be prosecuted is expected to be made within a few weeks, said Sheri Pym, an assistant U.S. attorney in Riverside.

"We'll look at everything," Pym said. "We just need to find out all of the circumstances before we make a decision."

Mansoori, who was described as being cooperative, is being held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Los Angeles. He was ordered detained without bail on Monday, Moregon said.

Mansoori, wearing a black suit with pilot's wings and sunglasses, attempted to follow a marked police car Monday through a security gate leading to the airport's main runway, according to court documents.

Driving his 2003 blue Honda Civic, he tried to drive through the gate after police officers used their security identification cards to enter before him. The gate, however, closed before Mansoori's vehicle was able to get through.

When a security guard ordered him to leave, Mansoori parked at the gate and refused to leave. After the guard called for assistance, Mansoori stated: "I am on the President's security detail and need to go out there to catch a Learjet to Washington D.C. on a protective assignment for President Bush," according to the federal complaint.

When a police officer asked for a badge or identification card, he produced a California driver's license and an alien registration card.

Mansoori agreed to speak with officers and to a vehicle search. He stated again that he needed to take a Learjet to Washington D.C. to see the president.

In the vehicle, officers found a citation issued by the Naval Criminal Intelligence Service for trespassing issued last Saturday. Mansoori said he was detained after driving past a security checkpoint at El Centro Naval Air Station to access a Blue Angels show that was about to start on the airfield.

In an interview with the FBI and the Secret Service, he said he planned to board a Lear jet at Ontario the same way Secret Service and FBI agents board planes by driving onto the airfield through secure gates.

Mansoori said he was carrying a green four-inch box cutter in his car's trunk Monday as he was attempting to gain access but said he had no intentions to use it as a weapon, according to court documents.

He also consented to a search of his residence and told Secret Service agents that he had a pellet gun at home in his desk. No pellet gun was found but a plastic container containing pellets, the manual for a Daisy pellet gun and about five box cutters were found.

Relatives declined comment Friday, as did Mansoori's public defender.

Mansoori was also interviewed by the FBI in May 2003 after he went onto a restricted rooftop of the Stratosphere Hotel in Las Vegas with a scanner and refused to obey a security guard's instructions, according to court documents.

Mansoori is a part-time student at Chaffey College in Rancho Cucamonga and was a part-time employee of a Jack In The Box in Rancho Cucamonga.

"He was a fine person," said Daniel Paz, assistant manager at the Foothill Boulevard restaurant who worked with Mansoori for more than a year. "He was funny at times, and would joke around with us; other times he would be serious...He was an average kid to me."

Mansoori worked hard and was being trained as a shift leader until he was detained on Monday, Paz said.

"He was always thinking about how he could better his life school-wise," he said.

He owned six box cutters if you count the one he had in his car's trunk when he tried to sneak into the airport.

I have this significant question that I always wanted an answer to and I couldnt figure it out on my own, so I am wondering if you can help me answer it, thank you. Okay the question is this:

If an airplane, lets say like the Boeing 747-400 climbs to a 90 degree vertical attitude at full throttle and at full power, and the airplane stalls, will the engines also wind down or stall? or would they continue to spin at full rpm because the throttles are at full power? Or if they do wind down, is it because the fuel flow cant get to the engines because of the way the airplane is at the 90 degree angle??? Please help me! Thank you! -Mostafa
