Yep, and Sandy Berger 'inadvertently' put classified documents down his pants.
What's your take on post#224?
I saw that before, and thought "Well, he's Syrian. Gotta' appeal to your fans." Maybe like the Beach Boys "Student Demonstration Time."
Here's the missing component to the story, start to finish:
There is not one single mention of anyone - crew or passenger - approaching one or more of these guys and saying "Look, your behavior is upsetting the other passengers," or "You guys seem to be friends, where are you headed?" or anything at all.
Instead it's just a descent into deeper and deeper paranoia.
If I were in that plane, and it was as potentially spooky as described, I might try to set an example by approaching the guys and making conversation. If you're wrong, at least you've interrupted the logistics of their "attack."
