The men have been "cooperative, upfront, not hiding" anything according to police. They also told officers they get stopped frequently and say they buy the phones for $20 and sell them elsewhere for $38. They sell them without the packaging or charger.

They LIE!

Think about it... the original stories were twenty planes... these guys are usually four in number... 80 just for the planes... doesn't count operational and financing.

How about to get on the plane you have to eat a big old ham, bbq pork or bacon sandwich?

That would disqualify Jews and Muslims, but then El Al is available for the miscontrued.

I think its a great idea.

Eat your pork rind before being issued a boarding pass. please!

Another ping -- in case you haven't seen this.

Our conversations a few weeks ago about threats are looking more likely each day.

And the chemicals used apparently fall to the bottom of the beverage so that a person could actually take a drink from the baby bottle and not be affected.

Talk to me like I'm in first grade. I'm new to this political scene and I don't understand what's going on.

It means .. that if President Bush really had a problem with Israel .. he would step in and tell them to knock it the hell off

He has not done that .. in fact he has stated that Israel has every right to defend herself

Would connect a lot of dots.

News broadcasts last night said the planes were to be destroyed over US cities, to maximize the mayhem and murder.

That is not true. I flew with an infant in 2004. The only thing I was allowed to take on were Enfamil single packs. Luckily I called ahead. I was forbidden to take on powder that I would pre-measure for the bottle and put in ziplocs. I was forbidden to take on unopened cans of dry formula because tha cannisters it is held in cannot let the x-ray machine take a look inside. The single packs can be x-rayed, etc, then mixed with water the flight attendant gives you.

here is what they are...

Is there an Islamic greeting where the response is automatic? Have the security guy under his breath greet each passenger this way and see who responds with any kind of recognization.

I can think of some decidedly non-Islamic expressions that ought to cause a reaction. It would not be right to recite such expressions in polite company, except to hint that it involves their prophet and various barnyard animals, particularly of the porcine variety.

Once again I ask... why aren't the companies/stores reporting these sales? If you distribute, you have to show docs. Do they even get their name and address (which would probably be fake anyway or show up individuals with no record). It has to be coordination. Why is it we haven't heard of more arrests here and have they checked airport employees yet?
