the enemy seems absolutely determined

It would seem so. I don't want to be an alarmist, but I cannot reconcile the reported behavior on this flight with legitimate activity by a group of musicians. If this band is connected to this incident, they need to pack quietly and leave.

Right on..but let's have a few heads rolling when it is
shown too much of a leeway..there is a lot of BS going on..
but amnesia on 9/11...is rampant in the liberals viewpoint.
Let's kill them before they get a 2nd chance....a pro-choice we can and should live with..who the hell would anyone talk to to stop terrorism?..no one!! Just do it to
them first..or you're toast. Jake

The fourteen may have been the "other" Kulna Sawa, capisce?

If the real band were acting as described in the article, then it's still unacceptable.

It appears that passengers must speak up, stand up to break the lavatory que, and risk starting an incident, at every stage of the suspect activity. Timing is critical. Someone has to start it, and risk looking like a jerk, telling the suspects to sit back down, or what have you.

"Agreed, but should be read by every male alive as well.

Our God-given instincts weren't given for no reason.

Good point.

If anyone is familiar with the physical location of lavatories on many commercial aircraft they all are positioned over the numerous hydraulic lines, and many electrical trunklines. Gaining access to these areas requires NO TOOLS. A bit of simple innerwall commercial airline construction knowlege is just as dangerous as any explosive or incendiary device.
Unfortunately our country is too wrapped-up in PC and our unwillingness or lack of nerve to challenge for fear of insulting someone, will allow anyone who has the goal of our destruction. Thery have already made their personal comitment to die and they don't care how many of us they take with them.

THE SAGA CONTINUES

By Michelle Malkin · July 19, 2004 10:52 AM
Via Michael Smerconish's radio show this morning, we learn that Annie Jacobsen will be posting a follow-up to her Terror In The Skies, Again article at womenswallstreet.com around 9amPST/12noonEST.

Jacobsen's parents e-mailed me some family background:

Annie Jacobsen is our daughter!! She is NOT the science fiction writer nor the psychic (with the same name). She is well-educated (an ivy league school class of 89 and a top prep school graduate) and is quite rational. She is a world traveler. She is apolitical. Her mother is a registered republican - her father a registered independent. This is not a hoax. She and her family were with us in CT to celebrate our 40th anniversary. Our still-shaking daughter and son-in-law called us immediately after speaking with both the FBI and the LAPD upon their return to their home. We had expected the call several hours earlier so we were quite concerned.

Still nothing from the Washington Post or other MSM. No Drudge link to Jacobsen's story, but snopes.com has posted an entry.

Meantime, here's some good flashback reading: Stuart Taylor Jr. on the case for using racial profiling at airports from September 25, 2001.

Great post, thanks jimbo. Snopes.com status: undetermined. They are awaiting the release of Mrs. Jacobsen's follow up article. It's a little past noon eastern and I'm eagerly awaiting it too.

Just because "nothing happened" on that flight, doesn't mean we are out of danger. Before 9/11, there were many "practice flights" where the terrorists would go through all the motions on flight to make sure everything would go smoothly. Sounds like a practice flight to me...

If they were assembling an explosive device in the lavatory and exploded it, what effect would air marshalls have had on the incident?

AMEN!

I wonder if anyone checked the desert casino as to why they needed to hire 14 Syrian musicians?

I am certain they can't work at the one Linda Ronstad just got fired from because of her anti-Bush remarks.
