This is merely an attempted hostile takeover of an American airline by a Muslim entrepreneur. He was no doubt inspired by Obama's speech this week.
Nothing to worry about!

A bomb? Maybe. Or possibly just that mystery blob on top of Sheila Jackson-Lee's head.

All 45 passengers were safely removed from the plane in Greensboro.
Safely removed???
How about just letting the passengers get off the plane under their own steam???
Geeze, you’d think they were hauling a bunch of invalids...

I have promised myself that I will never get on another plane--period! If I can't drive there, I won't go.
I just returned from a beautiful trip by car from Austin TX to DC (for the 2nd Amendment March) and back. It was a beautiful drive both ways, and my friend and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
We had beautiful weather, but I'm happy that I got home on Fri--all those tornadoes and rain storms crossed the section of the country that we just drove through!
