This report doesn't go into the details reported on tv. According to what I heard on Fox, 4 guys speaking arabic were speaking loudly and making inappropriate statements regarding terrorism. Two arabic-speaking air marshalls onboard approached the men and questioned them.

My 1st thought was that these guys did this to see if there were air marshalls on the plane, and whether any understood them.

why no arrests??

from previous incidents, an anglo-saxon uttering similar words and causing such a disturbance would be!!

I am really and truly sick of these idiots and their arrogance and belligerence

flying is a privilege, not a right. Get serious about enforcing the law against threatening behavior- as defined by the aircrew. Put them on do-not-board list for US carriers.

Then let them swim back or find seats on Air Egypt or Saudia

We are truly looking at a coordinated national, possibly international attack, in the near future.

Napolitano is a absolute idiot, put in place, for that reason.

Everyone be vigilant.

“Arabic speaking air marshals”?? Now I’ve heard it all. Are we putting negotiators on board aircraft? Put the marshals to work shooting the bastards and you won’t have to worry about the language they speak.

It’s my guess that these guys aren’t terrorists or probers....they’re part of the new tactic to try and get grounds for a lawsuit and some big bucks.

It can’t have been arabic speaking men because Errol Souther said that the terror threat actually comes from Christian Identity Groups and Survivalists.

“flying is a privilege, not a right.”

Like driving? How about walking? Running? Taking the bus?

Imagine telling a frontiersman that riding a horse is a priviledge, not a right!

Unfortunately segregation is probably the only solution in the near future, any Muslim or Middle eastern traveler will have to travel apart from others.

Apart or not allowed to board at all.

if we don’t all future air travel will be the same as Con Air.

Is your seat not comfortable?

Do you need a pillow?

Do you need your bomb-making gear taken from the overhead compartment?

Did you order a special meal?

Do you need the pilot to tell you which way is Mecca?

Install signs at all airport counters that say:

WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO REFUSE SERVICE TO ANYONE

There are really just 2 options. Arrest them and hold them without bail until they are tried and convicted and then put them in jail or send them back. OR 2 immediately put them on a flight back to where ever they came from and on a no fly list.

They are spies for a known enemy, and should be treated as such.
