This is the first info I've seen indicating sky marshals were on this flight. I did a search and didn't see it posted although I realize it may have been.

Looks like the sky marshals did their job admirably.

could somebody please 'shop this to say Muslims on a Plane?

Other passengers commented those arrested were from Asia and aged between 25 and 35.

(D) Muslim males between 17 and 40.

Hey! Watch it there you racist pigs! You're getting real close to racial profiling. We don't do that in this country.

Oops! This was in The Netherlands; my bad.

can you imagine how the air marshalls "tighten up" when they saw these 12 idiots playing cell phone gothcha in the aisle?

"I saw the air marshals run and I knew something was amiss," a 31-year-old businessman aboard the plane told Dutch newspaper Algemeen Dagblad.

"Some had beards, others were unshaven, one was wearing a robe. Some had baseball caps," another passenger told the paper.

The Air Marshals had beards, etc?

..... after 12 people began fidgeting with mobile phones and plastic bags...

..I thought cell phone use on flights were prohibited

Asians can be Muslims ... .

Noticing the calling of attention to ethnicity rather than religion?

Plaaaying those mind games together.

After reading this article from Reuters I still know next to nothing about this incident. Is the media just unable to publish Who,What,and When in a clear and concise manner?

"Some had beards, others were unshaven"
-------
I don't see the distinction...

[omega4179]

I read today I think in the Boston Herald that the 12 spoke Urdu, not Hindi. national language of Pakistan and indian muslimes.

[stinkerpot65]

Hezbocrats.

I can tell you right now that NOTHING will happen to these mutants. The Dutch can't scratch their own ass! Miserable society that applauds euthanasia and allows addicts and trafficing to demoralize their stupid country.
Their too busy shoving diamonds up the arses to play with terrorists!

[JustDoItAlways]

You can't yell "I've got a bomb" on a plane or in an airport because it is a criminal act.

These dry-runner al-qaeda types can get away with all the actions of constructing a bomb or carrying out a terrorist attack and they just walk away.

This needs to be a crime as well, so we can lock up these innocent dry-run al-qaeda types before they practise so much that al-qaeda has a fool-proof plan that kills thousands again.

Write your congressman because we need a new law against this yesterday.

this is just a recon op... gathering intel for something three or four years from now.... now they know that air marshalls will need to be neutralized.

all of these will be "innocent" peace loving muslims or hiding their muslim belief...they will be released and the operatives will have a little more intel.

they know that they'll need more people on board/they'll have to figure a way to block aisles... or just have a muslim working on maintenance or services leave weapons and explosive components on board.

Guerrilla warfare... constant intel gathering, exploit weaknesses, avoid presenting any opportunity for a defeat..stalemates and limited losses over time will wear down the enemy..

That's why places like Falluja were so good.... all the little roaches gathered in one place.
