The death is the grand gesture. Their lives are empty and devoid of substance. this is their feeble attempt to give their existence meaning. They are no different than Racheal Corrie or Dylan Klebold.
Out of cowardice, sloth or moral bankruptcy, they have led their lives nowhere. They feel contempt and envy for those that have not subscribed to their empty lifestyle.
They use the grand gesture of suicide to hurt the "Infidels", Capitalists", "jocks" or whatever. they convince themselves that they are dying for a greater cause, when they are really doing it out of hatred' pure and simple.

Profiling protects innocents muslims as well as caucasians. Anyone who opposes it is a Terrorist Sympathiser (TERRSYMPTM).

Does anyone know what became of the Muslim Secret Service agent who filed a complaint that he had been profiled by airport security?

bfl Bump for later, a personal reminder. I didn't have time to read over the posting the first time I brought it up so I posted a bfl so I will be reminded to go back the next time. (Sometimes called a "bump to the top)".Texas Freepers usually know this. Cheers!

They'll know what Custer felt like. Perhaps. If the terrorists do it the exact same way as on 9/11. But suppose they fill the cabin with a debilitating gas? Suppose their plan is to draw out the Air Marshall with deliberate provocations and then quickly overwhelm him with numbers and grab his weapon? And remember, with the reinforced cockpit doors, all the terrorists need to do now is take control of the cockpit and the passengers can fight all they want out in the cabin.

There is no reason to think that a terrorist can't also play a musical instrument. Might even play it well. Atta was an architect; others in his crew were engineers. They don't all live in a cave before hijacking a plane.

I didn't hear about anyone with "balls" standing up on Anne Jacobson's flight...to tell the 14 syrian rag heads to sit their asses down.

It seems to me it would be much easier to take a plane down with a shoulder launched missile or even a lucky RPG shot from the airport perimeterTrue. If that's all they wanted. And if they do it from the ground, they leave behind a live perp. Hard to get into the heads of these guys. I'm not a suicidal Islamic fascist. But just shooting down the plane doesn't have enough drama.
I wonder if they could transmit video of the passengers pleading for their lives? That would rile everybody.

Do we know why September 11 was chosen?It's always been my thought that September 11 was chosen because that's when the terrorists were ready. It is we, after the fact, trying to make sense of the inconceivable, who try to assign deeper meaning to the date.

You make a good point. I find it VERY hard to believe that they would try similar tactics, but the TARGETS do appear to remain the same year after year, and since they didn't get the Sears Tower, the White House, Congress, some big skyscrapers in LA, and DisneyWorld last time, I'd suggest those are the prime targets for the next attempt.

The national review article didn't mention that these "musicians" were traveling on expired visas and never should have been allowed to board a USA-bound flight from Damascus. They also should have been denied entry when they arrived in Detroit. And they should have been deported when they were questioned by the FBI at LAX, but the FBI neglected to inspect their visa expiration dates. The national review didn't seem to do a good job on digging into the story. It was a pretty sloppy report.

This country has gone PC mad, and it is dangerous for us all. Our society's suicidal tendencies (aka modern liberalism) will be the death of us.

The first time this story was brought to our attention, it served the stated purpose of bringing the actions of the airlines to light.
The second time this story was brought to our attention, it was a rehashing of the first thread.
At this point, the ongoing stories about the story about the story aspect tells me its POLITICAL.
The only thing left for the Democrats to do is undermine the concept "We are safer today then we were on September 11th, 2001".
This multiple posting of the exact same story day after day or a story talking about THE story, one out of 40,000 flights that day....is not trying to convey anything beyond "Bush hasn't made us safer".
Just my opinion.

"No doubt these are dry runs for a terrorist attack," the Times quoted an anonymous air marshal as saying. A talk show host this morning was talking about this incident and then went to another article (out of London I believe) that said that the new modus operendi is to assemble bombs in flight and detonate them. This incident sounds like a dry run for just such a thing.

One person might feel intimidated, but in a group, an otherwise timid person is going to feel a little more courage. Add in a person or two like me that are a little high strung already, a couple of wannabe heroes, a few athletes aging or not and you have the makings of a little big horn.
And why I always have roll of duct tape in my carryon. Makes a wonderful restaint and or gag for anyone who decides to get antisocial on a flight....

I disagree, it was not a sloppy article, or even a news article in and of itself.
