Or testing it. The muzzies who flew to this conference probably scouted their airline in some way. For example, would they be able to ask for and receive seat belt extensions, even if they obviously didnt need them. Or - what would the general reaction be when they chant and pray loudly in the terminal and plane?
The passengers and employees of the airline deserve credit for a job well done.
Exactly. We've read of several cases of muslims behaving in bizarre ways aboard a plane. I believe the intent is to provoke a response. Probably a companion is observing the activity surrounding them, and analyzing it, and also noticing the presence or lack of air marshals.
Its an important achievement if airlines are afraid to investigate muslims behaving strangely. Its also important to know how much time they have before security responds, and what is the precise trigger for a security response.
