Other article say that some of them have been picked up in Minneapolis, New Jersey and now Chicago. How is it that a bunch of Egyptian kids are SO well connected that they can travel all over the US and find so-called "friends and family". I hate to ask what kind of WORK they were setting out to find!?!?

Just nice fellows traveling across America......

The quote that keeps running through my head is "the are at war with us and we don't even know it."

Electronic ankle-bracelets for all exchange students.

Colleges so desperate for cash that they don't care if they bring terrorists to the USA.

Living near and being a frequent traveller in/out of O'Hare, I was particularly intriqued by the capture of one of the Egyptians there. How did he get from NY to Chicago? Hmmmmmmm.... inquiring minds want to know.

Wonder if TWA 800 was a test run of the "explosive liquid" approach to blowing up an airliner.

Hey, I've got an idea. Let's don't admit any "suspect groups" to the US to begin with.

The other five students were still being sought. Relatives in Egypt explained the students' failure to show up at Montana State by saying they probably wanted to find work in the United States.

Find work! They are only here for 4 weeks on a study program!

The title you created has to be changed to the original published title. Please do not alter titles. Thanks.

" ... officials stressed there are no ties between the Egyptians and the alleged terror plot broken up by British authorities."

Possibly true .. but who's to say they are not operating a terrorist cel unto themselves and have plans for a future attack on America.

Not long ago, my next statemen would have been prefixed with .. "I'm sorry, but .. "

I don't think that way any more. I'm not sorry for how I feel .. nor how I think regarding any Middle Easterner that is in my country.

For too many years .. Saudi's, Iraqi's, Irani's, Egyptians, Afghani's, Pakistani's ... (hmmmm .. now that I type it out .. I see a common denominator ... they are all i's)

Well, anyway .. we Americans have been hated and attacked in too many different ways for me to feel like I should give any way to the 'good ones' as opposed to the bad ones.

Untill the 'good one's' come out loud and cleart .. imprisoning or killing the 'bad ones .. I ain't sorry for wanting ...

(now I'll finish that sentence)

I want every one of them out.

In other words, they lied to obtain a visa, and had no intention of being found.

Typical sandmaggot behavior.

I'm certain that the guy they grabbed in Chicago is a terrorist. He might very well not have known how easy or hard it is to change your ticket, but his complete lack of knowledge about what happens when you make a lot of noise in an airport these days says it all to me.

[rock_lobsta]

So, what's his DUmmie screen name?

The officer said El Ela calmed down when police arrived

Always a good idea when dealing with CPD.

None of the students is considered a terrorism risk, and FBI officials stressed there are no ties between the Egyptians and the alleged terror plot broken up by British authorities.

I suspect they are saying this as a way to catch them off guard?

[lesser_satan]

I'm sure they were just engaging in terrorist activities Americans weren't willing to engage in.

.....None of the students is considered a terrorism risk, and FBI officials stressed there are no ties between the Egyptians and the alleged terror plot broken up by British authorities.......

Another article posted here at FR said that the plotters in England were dispersed in 3 separate 'cells', and that the authorities did not know if there were more, despite the surveillance. Also, that this unsureity as to whether they got all the plotters has led to the clamping down on carry-on items on flights just in case.

I'm wondering whether these clowns, and their accompanying highly publicized search which started a few days ago, caused the handlers of the British plotters to give the go-ahead to their plans and this caused the authorities to panic and order the rounding up of the British plotters.

[expatpat]

what kind of WORK they were setting out to find!?!?

Work that Americans won't do -- e.g., a little aviation bomb-making.

Really, now?
