Ok...I'll bite.
Most illegal immigrants aren't "tourists"?
I would hazard a guess that "most" tourists don't carry $8k in cash?
Most tourists aren't fugitives?
Considering all of the above..and then you add "subway maps and video, the men had train schedules" that they had on them....I wouldn't call them "tourists".
I'd call that a "difference"......BWDIK?!?!?
Lying to a LEO.
FBI officials said the men have no known link to a terror network but noted that none of them could adequately explain the items they had in their possession, the large amount of money or their reasons for being in the United States. Mohamed Ibrahim Gaber has been a fugitive since he jumped ship from an Egyptian flagged freighter in September 2000.
Nothing suspicious here, move along... Oh, and by the way, no credit given to LE for stopping a terrorist attack.
