If the story is true, what bothers me the most is that the passengers who deplaned were not contained!

"After the repeat security screening, the passengers reboarded -- all except the five Middle Eastern men, who were nowhere to be found. The flight proceeded to its destination uneventfully."

I'm not reading that conclusion from the information given.  The passengers may well have been contained in a secure area, and hopefully the Islamofascist terrorists were spirited off to a very, very deep hole somewhere near Guantanamo.

I hope you are right, but given the mega botches of the airport "security", I'm not so sure.
