"Credible Security Risk" Those are the words of the pilot on Delta Flight 1824 out of OIA, after it pulled back from the gate Friday morning to take off for Atlanta. Nine Middle Eastern passengers, six males and three females, had been denied access to the plane when TSA screeners found they were carrying an array of suspicious items ranging from hydrogen peroxide, which can be used to make bombs, to wires and Vaseline bottles taped together. Perhaps most disturbing, what one TSA worker tells me were the first positive tests for SEMTEX ever reported by security at OIA. SEMTEX is considered the bomb making material of choice by Islamic terrorists. In addition, a couple of them also had improper identification. The suspicious passengers were denied access to the flight, but ultimately...(are you ready for this?)...they were allowed to go on their way after questioning by airport officials and Orlando police!

Although it does explain the general greasy appearance of your typical sand monkey.
If the legal and political situation remains unchanged, we will.
Good Grief!
No, it took place on September 6th and pretty much ignored by the media.
Now behave ...
I've always thought that the ROP would leave Disney alone as so many of their bretheren vacation there. As we have seen in the past, however, this doesn't matter to the truly driven idealougues.
What scares me is - IT”S SEPT. 10!
Terrorists like to blow stuff up on anniversaries. I’d think just based on the date and the explosives residue to lock them up.
*** Vaseline bottles taped together.***
Vasaline, mixed with a certain common chemical can become a crude explosive.
BTTT
I suppose it explains all the references to the the “petroleum pumping economies” of the mid-east.

Well we wouldn’t want to upset our good friends the saudis would we?
murderous deceitful duplicitous bastards.
Here is another link to the story.
I suspect they were allowed to go on, because even though we all KNOW what this is and it’s EXTREMELY suspicious, they didn’t actually break any laws, ergo they can’t deny them passage without inviting another idiotic lawsuit.

Thank you cmsgop for the ping.
The middle eastern investment in all of central Florida is quite sizeable, but the terrorists could care less for that or the innocent victims the attack.
TSA and security officials observed that two of the Middle Eastern men intended for the flight had smeared Vaseline on their arms and neck areas — a common tactic among hand-to-hand fighters who want the advantage in the event someone tries to grab them or put them in a headlock. Covered by the greasy agent, they are better able to extricate themselves during close-quarters, hand-to-hand fighting.
Well, Semtex is a precursor for Colgate toothpaste. That makes it ok.
