Very similar to the way the FEDS treated Annie Jacobsen for reporting a “dry run” five years ago:

I hope you don’t fly much.
You are awfully naive and trusting.
Wasn’t there something about James Woods and a flight prior to 9-11?
Yes, Mohammed Atta was doing a dry run practice on a flight that Woods was on, a couple of weeks prior to 9/11.
Woods tried to raise the alarm. He was ignored.
So what do you say to four federal agents at your kitchen table on a bright Tuesday morning? The first thing I clarified for the agents was that, prior to my experience on flight 327, I had never heard of a "probe" or a "dry run." For the record, I explained, I had never heard of the James Woods incident either. [In case you're not aware, the actor James Woods flew on an American Airlines flight from Boston to Los Angeles one month prior to 9/11. Alarmed by the behavior of a group of four Middle Eastern men, Woods summoned the pilot and told him that he was "concerned the men were going to hijack the plane."
A report was filed with the FAA on Woods' behalf but, tragically, no one followed up with Woods or the men. A few days after 9/11, several federal agents showed up in Woods' kitchen. Woods can't talk about what was said -- he believes his testimony will be used in the trial of the supposed 20th hijacker, Zacarias Moussaoui-- but, in an interview with Bill O'Reilly, Woods revealed that his flight "was a rehearsal [for 9/11] with four men."]
Standing in my kitchen, one of the agents said, "What I can tell you is this: Mohammed Atta was one of the passengers on that flight with James Woods." (Apparently, this information has never been made public.) With that, the agent pulled out his chair, opened his notebook and started in with his questions for me (at which point the other three agents opened up their notepads almost simultaneously).
thx
Air Tran is toast!
Flyers will shun their loose cannon operational style, and they will be bankrupt in a month. (unless the muzzies bail them out)
That's all they've ever been.
Charles is neither naive nor trusting; he is in fact doing a great job as a nit picker here (and there are a bunch of nits to pick)
We do need our nitpickers, to make sure the thread doean’t die out.
Debbie Schlussel: Possible dry run for Islamic terrorist hijacking of domestic US airline flight a few weeks ago, with coverup from airline and MSM!!!
Ignoring a problem does not make it go away. It only gets worse.
