Memphis -- A university student from Egypt was ordered held without bond after prosecutors said they found a pilot's uniform, chart of Memphis International Airport and a DVD titled "How an Airline Captain Should Look and Act" in his apartment.
The FBI is investigating whether Mahmoud Maawad, 29, had any connection to terrorists. He is awaiting trial on charges of wire fraud and fraudulent use of a Social Security number.
Maawad, who is in the United States illegally, told the judge during a hearing Thursday that he is studying science and economics at the University of Memphis.
"My school is everything. I stay in this country for seven years; I stay for the school," he said.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Steve Parker said Thursday that the airport-related items were found during a Sept. 9 search.

"My school is everything. I stay in this country for seven years; I stay for the school," he said.
You'd think 7 years would be long enough to learn how to properly speak our damn language.
You no stay for school. You go federal prison now.

Maawad, who is in the United States illegally . . .One of millions and millions and millions. Illegals are here like McDonald's burgers sold, millions upon millions. And, we catch one. This guy is just one. There are hundreds, thousands out there just like him who want to kill Americans. They are in this country. They just need their opportunity.

If he wants to fly I say take him up to 15,000ft and toss him out of an airplane with no 'chute.

A university student ...
Mahmoud Maawad, 29...
Okay, NEW RULE for US Universities.
NO under graduates allowed who are 29 -- unless of course they can play Basketball or Football.
[Didn't Jeff George finally graduate when he was like 35?]
(just kidding)

Seven years of undergrad work....down the drain? Nah, they'll take him at Cairo U, or the Islamic U of Medina, and transfer all his credits too. Or he can go to work for little buddy Kim, perhaps translating "special" "device" maintenance manuals into Arabic.
