That's exactly what I'm thinking.
I don't understand this mentality that we have to know EVERYTHING. When EVERYTHING is published for EVERYONE to see....
EVERYONE includes those who we're looking for .. and THEY will be more cautious.
One of the things we enjoy is freedom of movement ... they are seemingly taking advantage of that .. but in that freedom they often will be more careless than if they thought they were being watched.
On the other hand, I'm tired of hearing that each and every event is "not terrorism related" when it's obvious that it is. That's what they originally said about the shoe-bomber, and that one didn't even pass the giggle test. Neither does this one. I agree that something's up, or at least that was their plan. I can only hope it's been thwarted.
"About 7:30 a.m. Thursday, El Ela approached one of the Delta gate desks in O'Hare's Terminal 3 and attempted to book himself on a flight to Bozeman, Mont., Bolger said, but his ticket was for a flight from New York to Bozeman on a different day.
He wanted to exchange the ticket and "was acting in a strange, erratic behavior," Bolger said.
El Ela raised his voice with airline agents and told the woman to call the university to confirm he was a student there. The woman did, but a university representative told her to contact authorities immediately, Bolger said. At that point, the woman called the officer, and he soon arrived at the gate.
Was that a bluff? Delta lady takes him up on it and too bad for him that our communication systems work.
