The ringleader did the same thing 5 months before...he was released again. Annie Jacobson was right.

Not for nothin'... I like the Washington Times, but it just annoys the hell out of me that we have to excerpt their articles.  The NYT/LAT/WP, those jerks I can understand, but The Times?

If what I just wrote made you sad or angry,
it was probably just a joke.

Assassinate them quietly in the dead of night.

So this was the group of “Syrian musicians”

CAIR must be outraged at this further profiling of middle eastern men who board aircraft and act like terrorists

It is disturbing the so-called Homeland Security Operations Center (HSOC) was clueless about this until it was reported in the newspaper. I think Free Republic should run the HSOC as an adjunct forum.

Another 9-11 like incident, and the libs will blame George Bush and Globull Warming.........

Should it be that hard to discover and publish the names and whereabouts of these 13 sweethearts?
Repeated provocative activities should be grounds for expulsion and, if necessary, revocation of American residency for the slimebag and his entire family.

This would create more animosity against the US?
I'll be kind and simply laugh.

I am sure the ACLU is suing the airline for racism and civil rights violations.

GOOGLE finds the report here:

http://pogoblog.typepad.com/pogo/files/DHS-IG-Northwest-327.pdf

The passengers and crew had good reason to act as they did, but there is no evidence it was a “dry run”, or a terrorism incident of an kind.

pp 31:

“Overall a key element when considering the response to this incident should be noted, which is that the 13 Syrian musicians were not terrorists and that the law enforcement assessments made by the FAMS and FBI on June 29, 2004 were appropriate. This is of particular importance when considering the involvement of the HSOC.”

Pretty sloppy copy editing on he part of the WP, IMO.

Michelle Malkin's take at the time...

Hell No!

I read a blog post recently from a Muslim which stated that they are doing this on purpose. Not because they are planning terrorism, but because it amuses them to scare Americans.

Any person who makes a joke about bombs, hijacking and terrorism while going through airport security can be arrested.

Unless that person is a Muslim.

My daughter and I are flying to LA next month. She is boarding the plane in NYC and when the flight makes a stopover in Detroit, I am boarding the same plane.

Although we are traveling together, we have different seats on the aircraft because we booked our tickets separately.

Should I wear a headscarf on the plane?

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