Terror in the Skies, Again?

Sounds like a good plan.

1. Send groups of "militants" all over the country on planes, but carrying no weapons.

2. Act very suspicious and provoke some "profiling" incidents.

3. Every time the airline reacts and takes you aside for questioning, or the FBI meets you at the terminal, call the ACLU/CAIR lawyers.

4. Sue, sue, sue. Sue every time an airline treats your group with suspicion. Keep suing every single time, and use those millions of dollars to buy weapons and train more terrorists.

5. Gain more allies worldwide and hurt America's reputation by crying on television about the hideous racism of Americans. Include a lot of sound bites about "flying while Arab."

6. As soon as the FBI and the airlines become too intimidated by political correctness and lawsuits to search Arabs or even look twice at them, BOOM another 9/11.

Plausible?

This may sound like a joke, but it occurred to me that the best way to prevent terrorist activity by a group of 14 Arabs on a flight like this would be to stand up and announce that you've planted a bomb on the plane.

1. The crew will immediately deal with you as if you were a terrorist -- and divert the flight to the nearest airport.

2. Nobody will be permitted to leave their seats -- including the 14 Arabs who were moving back and forth to the lavatories.

3. The 14 Arabs will spend the rest of their lives wondering who the hell this white dude thought he was, trying to hijack their plane.

Wow! That story is terrifying. I don't know if I would have been able to remain as calm as the writer. It appears that they were on a "dry run" of some kind....Unfortunately, it is only a matter of time before something bad happens in the sky again.

[reagan_fanatic]

Yeah, it's scary that women this stupid are allowed on planes. How dare those nasty middle eastern men use the bathroom?

I would rather have that 'stupid' woman as a fellow passenger than someone who finds such highly suspicious behavior something to make lame jokes about.

[new cruelty]

Plausible, but extreme... so who knows.

Gotta run... time to pick up the baby. Ciao, all.

[jjbrouwer]

I think that your turban is tied a little to [sic] tight.

That's right, Redneck! I must be middle eastern because I don't report people in turbans to the FBI.

They might take down a plane but there will never be another 9/11 type incident. A terrorist couldn't commandeer a plane with a bazooka. The passengers will give him an enema with it.

[mict42]

If I'm not mistaken, it wasn't 19 redneck hayseeds that commandeered those jets and headed for New York. Why the hell can't you PC crazies wake up before you find yourselves or someone you care about roasting over a roaring fire with a stake up his a--.

[aculeus]

Yeah, it's scary that women this stupid are allowed on planes.

Not to mention the stupid cabin attendants, the other stupid passenger crying in fear and the stupid government law enforcement people who conducted the interrogations in LA. All were stupid because a few innocent men wanted to use the bathroom. Real stupid.

Sorta like a cop's advice: if you're being mugged on a residential street scream "Fire!".

[jjbrouwer]

If that's your only contribution to this thread, you're the troll, newbie.

[mmcclosk]

If I were on that flight, I'd jump right in line for the bathroom, like to see them stop me. :-D

[jjbrouwer]

Surprisingly, I understand sarcasm. There's no real need to tell me when you are using it.

(Unless that was for the benefit of those who don't understand it.)

I'm so sorry.

[jjbrouwer]

I accept your sincere apology.

Perhaps I should open the sarcasm first so you can close it.

[y2k_free_radical]

wow

[numbchuck]

your right what kind of idiot would think middle eastern men learning to fly a plane but not interisted in landing it is cause for alarm,oh wait that was another incident,never mind ,carry on.

[Ditter]

I just recieved this as e-mail. When I forwarded it to my e-mail list I said "read this it will scare the pants off you". Thats a funny expression. ;9)
