More to come...

3:24pm. Just got off the phone with Annie Jacobsen. She has been writing business reports and articles for WomensWallStreet.com and print magazines for the past two years. Recounting the flight, she told me "My legs were like rubber...It was four and a half hours of terror." She is working on a follow-up story for WomensWallStreet.com on Monday and will appear on NBC Nightly News Monday night. I asked how she felt about suspicions that her story had been a hoax. She hadn't heard of these suspicions and instead has been hearing overwhelming corroboration of her experience in thousands of e-mails, many from pilots and flight attendants reporting similar incidents.

She has been shocked that "for whatever reason, the story didn't develop" in the mainstream media.

I took off my journalist's hat and told her I thought she was a patriot for bringing the story to light.

Now, I want to know why John Mintz and the editors of the Washington Post have deemed Annie Jacobsen's story unfit to print.

Funny after reading your post, my husband just called. He is flying today and just had lunch in an airport restaurant. He and several others who work with him were talking about me telling him not to get on a plane with 5 or more Arabs on it(he was probably laughing at me with them). A flight attendant was sitting at the table next to them and joined in on the conversation.

She began to tell him how carefully they are watching such incidents and that they can turn people in if the slightest thing that makes them uncomfortable and do. She said that many of them will refuse to fly if to many male Arabs get on board of a plane. She also stated that there have been several incidents lately, such as a couple of guys were taken off a plane recently when they were caught taking pictures of all parts inside of the plane with their cell phones. They had hundreds pictures of all angles in the plane.

Now, let's review a post and report from a fellow freeper to compare:
