That article gives the impression that she's a follower of Islam. Had a prayer rug in her room, fell in love with a Pakistani man who couldn't get a visa to come to the U.S. so she went there instead. Hmmm

I'd say it's her. The article was dated 2002 and stated she was 55 years old. The woman on the plane is 59. The age is a match.

Per your link to her writings from Pakistan, I wonder if she passed Junaid's test to join in jihad.

Like most terrorists, she seems like she's been brainwashed or something. Not lucid, not at all.

Yep, I saw that Guardian article too, with the info the NYT neglected to mention (that Mayo's trip originated in Dubai). Someone posted a link on the thread here yesterday.

Today's NYT article has some amusing details, however. See post 57 above.

Also see post 53 from freeperfromnj, with Yahoo News's account of the woman's alleged threat to drop a load in the aisle.

Exactly right. She had several lighters, matches, a screwdriver and that unidentified "gel-like" substance. She made several trips to the restroom. Who else was on the passenger list? Was she planning to take out the plan with others on board and freak out at the last minute?

I agree, but it still does not quite explain the screwdriver

She's got a few loose, that's for sure. Perhaps she was self-medicating.

LOL! And from the looks of her, I'd have to say it wasn't a Phillips, but a flat-head.

There must be a disease that is going around for people who get caught up in conspiracy theories or refuse to see things clearly....

What I want to know is ,how she got past security with those items?

I flew in from Frankfurt Germany the day before and they confiscated my matches when I went through the first security check.

My carry on was checked by hand 3 more times after the first security check.

It looks like someone was asleep at Heathrow.

After 9/11, Americans forgot to monitor the system of checks and balances that informs their government’s functioning. All the power was given to a president not elected by the people

He became the President of the United States according to the laws and mechanisms set aside in the Constitution by the Founding Fathers you so longingly harken back to in your letter, my dear.

Perhaps that is something your limited intellect is unable or unwilling to comprehend.

Your side lost - get over it.

C. Mayo, from the site:

Feeling sorry for myself, I put on a CD of really old music. Rolling Stones, ZZ Top, Genesis. When they woke up in the morning, they knew that they had a whole day yet to be invented. They could plan on moving to the moon, and make a list of what they would need to bring with them. They could make up a new kind of love, like the time that people did scientific experiments to show that two potted plants sitting next to each other on a windowsill could love one another if they listened to enough Mozart. Even the thought of such a possibility can make a person smile in the morning.

**************

I'm thinking drugs may have played a part in her "inspiration" for this fine piece of journalism.

HOLY CRAP! Quoting from the letter you linked:

I have come here by a long strange road. I met Junaid, a Pakistani man, on line before September 11. He is talking about marriage, so I need to get to know him better before I bring him into the US on a fiancé visa. He was refused a visitor visa to the US, so I have come here.

She's a junior jihadi wannabe, trying to impress her man!

What gets me is that she evidently traveled often. This meltdown she had, why so sudden? And I'll say it again: save time and stick every suspect with sodium pentathol. It'll save $$$ and lotsa time and effort in the long run. All that's needed is probable cause, and surely they have it in this case!

I think she is Howard Dean's favorite Vermont constituent. If she had kept her clothes on her behavior would be no different than the typical Howie Dean public appearance....

Leftists circling the wagons to protect one of their own. Disturbing and disgusting.

Good Lord. How bizarre.

In your link, she says she met a "Pakistani man" online. She couldn't get him a "fiancé visa" for him to come meet her in Vermont -- so she went to meet him there.

That may have been the beginning of her "journalism" career in Pakistan?
