DETROIT, Feb. 8 (UPI) -- Part of a Detroit airport terminal was shut down Monday after an Arabic man ignored instructions from security guards, police said.

I have to fly in April and while I’m looking forward to the trip, I am dreading the airport drama, the bare feet, the little shampoo bottles etc.

They should put up a new TSA sign in the airports: No vacationers will go unpunished!

[homegroan]

LOL! That’s a good one!

‘Cause it’s sooo true!

[Carley]

My worry is that while Detroit seems to be the center of concern, something sinister is being planned for elsewhere in the US.

[Shady]

I am staying away from airplanes.

Shoot the bastard

“It's like killing roaches: you gotta get ‘em all or what's the point? ...” Paul Kersey(Charles Bronson)...in one of those Death Wish movies.

[muir_redwoods]

we should assist them in reaching that particular goal, IMHO

[TomGuy]

Be Islamic

Ignore airport/airplane rules

Get detained

Collect $millions

[shades of Jesse Jackson’s decades of shakedowns]

I believe that is the case also. Everyone turns toward Detroit and the bad guys are no longer there. Certainly TSA is not that inept....

Shoot him!

Send a message.

(until we get serious, we are doomed)

"It worked really well. This guy had no place to go," said Michael Conway, airport spokesman.

A laden terrorist would have ignited a bomb inside the secure area of the airport.

Mirandized or not-Mirandized? Guantanamo or not-Guantanamo?

I totally agree shot the damn Muslim. Mollycoodling terrorists is not working. Give them the same treatment they would receive in their home country - cut off the hands, behead them. Did they give Pearl a fair trail. Treat O the same way. The largest Muslim Population in Dearborn MI. A terrorist attack does it signal Muslims to rise up and attack their neighbors. Something is a brewing. Life in a city is not good.

[plain talk]

I just flew back from London. as the flight near New York City a disheveled middle eastern looking man started pacing up and down the aisle. He did that all the way to Atlanta. Could be his legs were tired or maybe he was just messing with us. But my sense is that people are watching this crap and on the ready.

a bit more on the suspected Detroit ‘dry run’.

[Lion Den Dan]

When you think about it, these so called “dry runs” are not a dry run but a successful act of terrorism. Operations are disrupted, people are scared by the actions and there is serious ecconomic disruption and out right loss. A so called dry run is an attack.

“The largest Muslim Population in Dearborn MI.”

Just an FYI - Dearborn is only a 10 minute ride from Detroit’s Metropolitan Airport

[AliVeritas]

Bingo.

[COBOL2Java]

Certainly TSA is not that inept....

I always assume that TSA is inept, and they rarely fail to disappoint.

[cvq3842]

I would be lying if I said this thought hadn’t crossed my mind also.

[atomicweeder]

I don't think these are dry runs. I think they are attempts to invoke excessive reactions by law enforcement or airline employees, and then later sue for discrimination.

I say that, based on the only two Arabic people I've had close dealings with in my professional career -- both of whom have a history of frivolous lawsuits.

[hennie pennie]

Detroit might constitute a 'decoy' -- keep everyone's attention & energy & resources on Detroit, as a camoflage for a different location altogether where their next terror attack is really planned.

Detroit probably isn't the target --- however, IF it is, then the Islamists have said that any muslims who die in an attack on America will go immediately to Paradise as Martyrs.

It would be interesting to know the general movements of the Islamic population groups in the USA, as evidentally they often encourage Muslims to move away to safe areas.....
