The inspector general for Homeland Security late Friday released new details of what federal air marshals say was a terrorist dry run aboard Northwest Airlines Flight 327 from Detroit to Los Angeles on June 29, 2004. Several portions of the report remain redacted. The release stems from a Freedom of Information request by The Washington Times in April 2006.

Remember criticizm of the passenger who was characterized as “hysterical” for reporting the odd behaviour of the group?

Actually they would. CAIR would sue your ass, and they'd get all kinds of mileage out of the "bigoted American" story.
Unless you actually did kick him off the aircarft and they find "contraband" on his person or in his stuff.
