Is she saying what their reasons are?
I flew on Gulf Air some years ago. Fact: as soon as that seatbelt light goes off every arab man on the plane makes a mad dash for the lavatory--to load up on the free after shave. It was a non-stop exercise.
What's the WWW story?
Consewrvative radio station KVI 570 in Seattle is interviewing Annie Jacobsen right now... 4:00 PM tonight PDT.
BTTT Stream 570KVI.com NOW. John Carlson interviewing this woman. (4:00PM Pacific time)
please post what you hear, especially any new information.
Hmm, ok.
Nothing new, I am going back to Hugh Hewitt, even if he is flogging his book I prefer him to Carlson.
Although she did say that air marshals only deploy when there is an incident.Maybe that should change.
NBC News to do the story on Monday. The news on this is spreading like wildfire.
KVI's John Carlson said he didn't say it on the air, but he knows she is a liberal democrat. Hopefully she now see's that we really are at war.
KVI is now talking to a airline pilot who called in who is giving his insight.
Pilot on KVI says: He talked to the woman and believes her story. Thinks it's very odd that 6 of them were were aloud to pre-board when only one had a bad leg, and those 6 were all sitting in coach.
Also mentioned: Detroit has a large Muslim population and is near the Canadian border. He and other pilots are frustrated that all of them are searched, to the point of even taking off their shoesm yet some high risk lokking passengers are alloud to board with a minimal search.
I agree, but the idea that we cannot profile is absurd!
Why didn't the Air-Marshals intervene, made the guys sit down? Another question is how is it that more than one air marshal was on this flight to begin with? Are we sure this is a true story?
If they were innocent, why do such a thing? Some sick joke or something...by the way, love your screenname.
Don't dig deeper, because perhaps the agents have a snitch in with this terror cell, and they knew that no bombing was going to take place. Perhaps they are trying to catch the bigger guys, and not these foot soldiers.
KVI re-running the interview at 5:15 PDT
PC may be the death of all of us before this is over.
This why we must kill as many of the Islamokazis in Afghanistan, Iraq, and coming up Iran and Syria. If they die there, they can't harm us here.
Caller thinks her story is balony. His reason: on a 757 how many people can you really see from your seat? She seemed to know every detail that was going on from nose to tail, how many was standing hear and there.
Your thoughts?
Mine: If she was making it up, there were 200 or so people on the plane who could call her on it. A writer making up a story to make a name for herself won't have a job very long. And what about the flight attendents? Was them passing notes also made up?
..asking anyone else on board that day to respond...to verify/validate this story!
"Is it possible that this was a test by our authorities to test the reaction of the flight crew and passengers to a possible terrorist situation?"
I've been thinking about the overt nature of their acts and I'm wondering now if that wasn't just to probe responses. What if all these 'test runs' that people have been noticing are designed to plant the idea in everyone's mind that we have to keep our eyes on the ME people who carry instrument cases and keep going to the bathroom, etc? Then, when they're ready for the real attack, they send two groups onto a plane: ME guys to act up in order to draw the marshalls and passengers attention, and a second group of non-ME guys (or gals) to do whatever it is they plan to do. While half the plane is wrestling down the ME guys, the others could set off the bomb or do whatever.
The other possibility is that all this has been meant to draw security resources to air travel when their actual target is something else.
