Flight crews and air marshals say Middle Eastern men are staking out airports, probing security measures and conducting test runs aboard airplanes for a terrorist attack. At least two midflight incidents have involved numerous men of Middle Eastern descent behaving in what one pilot called "stereotypical" behavior of an organized attempt to attack a plane.

"No, but the sheeple of this country think that their "government" can protect them, which should be abundantly clear that it cannot."
This is all too true. Especially when our Government is more concerned about poticial correctness than doing whatever is necessary to make ceratin the chances of a 911 repeat are nil.
We need to set an example by immediately removing, arresting and getting rid of ANYONE who plays this game. This is not a time for dallying. The one true reason we have our Government is to protect its citizens. It's about time it does so. Whatever it takes! Do it and do it now!!
A magazine of Glasers would curtail this behavior.
I read the article posted here last week that was in the Women's Wall Street Journal and followed the subsequent replies. There was a huge thread on it. Now this article in the Washington Times not only confirms the other article but also mentions additional instances of the terrorists probing our weaknesses. It is interesting to note from this article that the flight crews and air marshalls are very concerned and are trying to get the information to the attention of the public as they realize that current airline security is NOT working. What is it going to take?
Political correctness = death: our death
The next attack will likely be very different from 9/11, something unexpected (though obvious in retrospect).
BUMP FOR LATER
Actually the along with the media refuse to acknowledge it for the most part. Snopes.com has the Jacobson story as false. Despite the fact that others have similar stories (such as the mirror to the cockpit). Don't want to scare us (we might stop flying or spending money), who cares if we might become vigilant (oh, year perhaps that is bad now too :-)
One shot through a window and that plane is gone? That's a myth. You should watch "Mythbusters" on the Discovery Channel. They pressurized a cockpit and fired a bullet through the side of it. It just made a little hole and that was all. Same thing for the window.
As for the story of Northwest Flight 327, check out this blog for a skeptical response:

Also read the follow-up posts and all the comments. A friend of mine is an airline pilot and a 757 instructor. He said he could poke some serious holes in the Flight 327 story, although he didn't say what they were. I was skeptical about the flight attendant discussing the air marshals with a passenger.
darn clumsy fingers.
The govt along with the media
year=yeah
If that was the case, then how do you explain all the bombers from WW2 that seemed to be turned into smth close to swiss cheese and STILL made it home safe ?
Story on FNC NOW
I recall an incident that happened some years ago near Hawaii.
Seems like the whole danged cabin roof came off a plane.
Passengers were sitting in their seats with the sky as their roof, but the plane made it back and safely landed.
"All these Arabs involved in this need to be sent to Guantanomo for interrogation."
No, they need to be killed. Immediately and without trial or fanfare. Times, they are a-changin'
