Fer sure.
Why is it called a no-fly list when the people on it keep flying?
Pssst, Senator. We're not supposed to notice how he looks. We'll have to toss that statement down the memory hole.
The good senator isn't from AZ, he's from Mexico.... so he can profile all he wants to. LOL!
Aackk!!! Racial profiling!!!!
‘A witness on board the plane, Mexican senator Francisco Javier Castellon, said the passenger arrested was an Arab-looking man and was on seat 23H.”
That’s racist. Racial profiling.
Oh, no, an American didn’t say it so , it’s o.k....right? Right?
good post, as usual.
Shame on him, why is he profiling didn’t his President just give the USA a tongue lashing over an AZ law to check status if you are in the act of a crime.
seat 23H .... right over the wing section .. I hope they probe him real good.
I am really failing to understand that in this day and age ... HOW THE HELL DOES ANYONE ON THE NO-FLY LIST GET ON A PLANE????????
UPDATE:

SNIPPET: “MONTREAL -
SNIPPET: “It remains unclear how the individual was able to board the aircraft, which took off from Paris earlier in the day and was en route to Mexico.
The remaining passengers were all asked to deplane and were searched. The aircraft then resumed its trip.”
Thank you gaijin.
THANK YOU Norm.
I was wondering where that seat location was.
At least it wasn't 29A!

I see the right wing side still has no idea of where they are or what's going on. charlestailor writes "Personally I would sooner have someone on a no fly list OFF my plane before we headed out over the Atlantic. " The article clearly says they were going from Paris to Mexico city. Now I guess that if we listened to the Americans who think it makes sense to land in Montreal when flying from France to Mexico, then we can understand how Mr. Right Wing thinks the Atlantic will be crossed after you get to Montreal rather than after. I have a real problem with the Americans controling who flys where when their country isn't a starting point or destination. Also wy are we their dumping ground. Montreal is definantly not on the way from France to Mexico.
PS please dont bother pointing out to me that there are flights that take round about ways to places and not in a straight line. the article says that it had to land there so it was not "on the way".

Next time you’re at the airport, take a careful look at the Rhodes scholars manning the TSA checkpoints. Eavesdrop on their wide range of conversational topics — intellectual “security oriented” stuff like: “who’s on break”, “when am I gonna get my break?”, “Alfonso been on break all damn afternoon!”, “dang, it’s only three PM!”, and other highly technical topics pertinent to our nation’s first line of defense against terrorism.
Then check back in and we’ll see if you’ve gotten the picture.
:-)
Recently I was stopped by two TSA agents. First agent askes why I had bacon bits, “You planning on making a salad?”
“Nope. It’s for terrorists.”
Second agent says “What does bacon have to to with terrorism???”
First agent gives him a ‘you idiot’ look...
Was
'Tiz not your royal bottoms ensconced in a seat in that aircraft. Not you breaking out in a sweat
Like one Canadian said, he did not want to be flying with a "no fly" passenger. The know it alls jumped on him.
At one point the aircraft may have had more of the Atlantic ocean to cross. I hope that the Mounties (who have had a bad Canadian press lately) find out something really valuable.
