What information would it take to debunk that story to your satisfaction?

Are you suggesting racial profiling? But I thought the guys with towels on their heads and bombs in their suitcases were part of the "religion of peace."
Then again, Christ promises Christians Eternal Life in Paradise, Muhammed offers a whorehouse with an open bar.

The story wasn't entirely debunked. It turns out that the middle-easterners were indeed a bunch of musicians on their way to a gig; but their suspicious behavior was real and was enough of a cause of concern for them to be questioned after the flight. Any group of terrorists making a dry-run on a flight will have some sort of cover story for who they are and what they are doing. The recent ridiculing of Ms. Jacobsen for her concerns are not justified, IMO.

You have been terrorized out of your sense of humor. Butch up cupcake, and quit reacting the way the enemy wants you to.

Nice piece Joe.
I work for the largest American airline and I haven't flown since 9/11. As long as security takes a backseat
to political correctness, I won't be flying again, either.
Now all of the apologists will come out of the woodwork and say I'm "helping the terrorists win," or that I'm "hurting the economy."
Well sorry. I don't buy it anymore than I buy the theory that Ross Perot helped BushI lose. Bush lost for himself.
And the government is responsible for doing this to itself.
When will the security of the citizens of our country come
before foreigners and the the cries of profiling from
the left? Not soon enough...

First of all, it's not a "story." It's one woman's account of what happened that day. Mary Had A Little Lamb is a "story."
Secondly, you weren't there. I wasn't there. If her accounts are accurate, which I have reason to believe they were, if either of us WAS there, we would have been concerned as well.
When was the last time you were on a plane? Do you travel often? Would you consider behavior like this "normal?" I certainly wouldn't.

Look! There's a Sikh walking down the street as if he owns the place! Might have a bomb in his turban, and he's carrying a knife, too!

My son and I have reservations on NW Flight 327 for next week. Don't you think that all those Mid-Easterners who fly regularly out of Detroit Metro will be nervous and upset travelling with a couple of Hasidic Jews?

Strange, mysterious Mid Easterners, Near Easterners, Far Easterners, Africans, Asians, Mongols, Malays, Caucasians, and every other subpecies of homo sapiens that have only been in our country a day or two, are on board our flights as I write this.

Flying back and forth between Dulles and LAX at least twice a year means I am more than cognizant of the seriousness of the issue of air safety...the seriousness of the original perspective is laughable.

Are you suggesting that Arabs' discomfort with seeing jews on a flight is somehow no less reasonable than everyone else's discomfort with seeing a bunch of arabs on a flight?

And, as the woman who wrote the story mentioned, there's no reason in the world why terrorists couldn't play a musical instrument or two. Are terrorists supposed to have "terrorist" next to "occupation?". There were other anomalies - why fly *14* *Syrian* musicians all the way across the country for *one* insignifanct gig? That's a lot of money squandered for *one* miserable gig, don't you think?

Some visas expire upon entry to the US (that is, they can be used only once) while the authorized visit is obviously much longer. So while the band's members might have been here no longer legally, it isn't certain they were, at least from the information we now have.
