"It's a probe. They are probing us," said a second air marshal, who confirmed that Middle Eastern men try to flush out marshals by rushing the cockpit and stopping suddenly.

If it's illegal to discuss a bomb in an airport or on a plane, or even mention the word, why is it legal to feign hijacking an airplane? You lock a few of these probers up as examples and lose the keys for awhile and it might curtail the behavior a bit.

A magazine of Glasers would curtail this behavior.

Exactly, behavior like this should be cause for some serious grief to these guys, deportation if they're not citizens. Imagine if they caught a group casing a bank, taking photos of the vault doors, trying to break through the wall behind a mirror. It's even worse when an airplane full of people is involved.

Good point. I wondered myself. How can these clowns get away with these antics - although people will just say that eating McDonald's and going to bathroom are normal; my take is that taking your finger and running it across your throat and things like that are not normal. All I know is if I was on a plane and there were more than one or two people that looked like potential terrorists to me, I'd be freaking out - let alone 6 or 14. They'd have to strait-jacket me that's for sure. I'm little but really, really feisty.

Reminds me of the movie "Signs", where the recruiter says the aliens are checking us out first ("to see if it's clear.....) before they attack. The next time the bad guys go after us, they will have had many trial runs, don't you think so? Of course, being politically correct, we must not do any "racial profiling". Who knows? They could be white guys from Wales trying to blow us up. But profile Middle Easterners - NEVER !
