"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!

I was just looking for some reasons WHY this story would not have made more of splash and it appears that the WHOLE EARTH was eagerly awaiting the Osama Bin Laden tape! WooHoo!
God protect us from ourselves and political correctness.
Ditto your Good Grief!
Did you read this part from the link above? [the site that can’t be mentioned]
Even more disconcerting, 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.
A closer inspection of the identification possessed by the Middle Eastern passengers determined that three-(3) of the men possessed false or fraudulent credentials. In fact, one of the Middle Eastern men possessed 2 passports with his picture on both, but the passport information was different on each one.
No time off for bad behavior from hell.
....”Vaseline smeared on their arms and neck areas”..........
Why, I wonder???
And I do not want to hear any kinky sex theories.
Just once, on one of these stores, I'd like to hear that the Swine were brought before a tribunal which ordered them hanged.
