I propose they do ID for plane boarding. All Muslims, who swear to Allah go through one line, and anyone willing to carry a cartoon with the prophet and a firecracker in his head dress, gets to go in another line...simple.
Really? I thought he was the only terrorist in the world!
“For all muslim/middle-eastern appearing passengers, flight 246 is now ready for waterboarding.”
Thanks once again to a foreign source to state the obvious while the US msm is still pushing the “lone man too dumb to blow up firecrackers” scenario.
Thank God that the attack was foiled.
But I can’t help thinking, that if it had succeeded, we would never be told that it was a terror attack, they would blame it on pilot error or failure of some equipment on the plane.
Make him comfortable, provide him with cable TV, give him plenty of food and rest until he spills his guts!
So what?! The system worked!
If a certain “sharp-dressed man” hadn’t been able to talk this pig onto the plane, we could’ve said that the system worked. It broke down when someone broke the rules at boarding.
For all Freepers who fly, either regularly or occasionally:
1. Be wary, trust no one; Richard Reed doesn’t look middle-eastern
2. It is illegal for the government and its agencies to “profile”. Individual citizens’ simple opinions of others around them are not litigable.
3. Simple assault is usually a fine but could also include a short stay in jail; worth it if you short-circuit a terror attempt.
4. The events of the AirTrans (ATL to IAH) flight were designed to terrorize; you don’t have to sit idly if you feel threatened.
5. Always assume the flight has no air marshall.
OK, for my money, along about the end of the week, Yemen ought to be renamed Glassland.
We weren’t expecting him to say, “I’ve failed... the jihad ends with me” were we?
Do not execute terrorists. Put them in prison for life and give them a TV that plays only daytime TV over and over. No martyrdom. No 72 virgins.
Kill em all. Let Allah sort em out.
This was a MAJOR national security breach and an attack (even if failed in part) upon the United States of America, on the day we celebrate Jesus' birth.
And they are asleep at the wheel, either through incompetence or political correct design.
Hey guys, SURPRISE! Wake up and smell the Nigerian coffee, you dingbats!
