Egyptian Student Had Terrorist Leanings, Prosecutors Say
WREG TV Memphis ^ | February 22, 2006 | Staff

Twenty-nine-year-old Mahmoud Maawad has been held without bond since his arrest in September while he was a student at the University of Memphis.

He drew the attention of federal authorities when a search of his apartment turned up DVD's on pilot training and charts on the layout of the Memphis airport. One of the DVD's was titled "How an Airline Captain Should Look and Act."

Authorities refuse to talk about their ongoing investigation of Maawad. But in a court filing, prosecutors said a computer seized from his apartment showed he was linking to web sites that are associated with a radical Sunni Muslim organization in Iraq.

The filing said traces of Internet activity on the computer also showed searches for information on how guns and bombs can be smuggled past airport security.

What...a terrorist in Memphis?

No one from Tennessee can any longer be allowed to work in our ports or airports.

I have always been suspicious of those FedEx guys. And what about the UPS trucks? They don't look all that innocent either.

By the way, this is humor.
