Maybe the guy went into the restroom to eat lunch so he wouldn't have to share it with the other guys? But someone should have confronted them at some point after the flight and found out what the answers were. Hopefully someone did.
I kind of imagine the FBI or Homeland Security checked all of this out and are working a case where these guys are involved, so now they're tight lipped about it. We'll only hear about it if the AG files on someone.
I agree, I know for a fact that the Feds stance is to deny since it is a time of war and they are doing it in the interest of the people and commerce. Something we have to live with.
