The FBI and Orlando Police have confirmed 3 Middle Eastern men were detained last week trying to board a flight at Orlando International Airport. In an exclusive story, 540 WFLA Melissa Hellervik has learned, as they were checking in for a flight to Oman at the ticket counter the name of one of the men appeared on a computerized "do-not-fly" list compiled by the Transportation Security Administration. All 3 men were placed into the custody of a federal agent. A spokeswoman from the FBI told Newsradio 540 WFLA they will not comment with any details, because the 3 are continuing to be investigated. Several investigative agencies came together on this. Orange County Sheriff Kevin Beary tells Newsradio 540 WFLA that Joint Terrorism Task Force is sharing information that gets put onto the watch list and do not fly list...and that's helping to better maintain security inCentral Florida. The sheriff also applauds the efforts of Orlando Police, the FBI and the TSA.

These types of incidents seem to be on the increase lately. What's not on the increase is the media reporting on them. We see them because we are news junkies but the general public could care less.

An African lady was stopped in south Texas a few days ago, too. Similar MO. She had been in and out of the country 250 times; had no 'legal documentation'; was assumed to have heavy al-Qaeda connections.
Yet, the media/TSA are downplaying the the 2 articles by the lady (Jacobson or similar) who wrote about the Syrian 'musicians' acting strange on her flight.

If the media were to report these things, Amerians might get the crazy idea that we're still in danger, and the media absolutely does NOT want that. They would prefer we die by suprise.

I think that the reason we are not hearing these events in the media is that it would prove that the Bush administration is doing a great job protecting this nation.
