This is beyolnd outrageous -- knowingly allowing terroristst to board a plane!

Why weren't THEY put through extra security and ARRESTED BEFORE boarding the flight!!!!

[MIchaelTArchangel]

Look for something big on 9/11.

[Ingtar]

Because TSA really had no clue and this is an attempt to cover it up and make them look competent.

i would be irate if i had been a passenger on one of their flights!!!!!

THE SYSTEM 'WORKED'

[Walkingfeather]

wondering if the feds have such insider knowledge that they were confident it was a dry run. Maybe they wanted to see if there were airport personnel that were assisting? Seems unusually ballsy for the feds and all the info we know what they were carrying... usually we hear nothing. hmmmm

[Crawdad]

I wouldn’t fly this week for anything.

[Deaf Smith]

Any WASP would be prosecuted for causing alarm.

[sappy]

scary. i would hope that was the case like them assuring israel that iran is at least a year off from a nuke! Obama Administrations “Mission Accomplished” momentS!!!!

[Son House]

Anyone heard of their immigration status?

The FBI/HS started spinning this story early this morning trying to say that "it is premature to think" that these people were really terrorists or somesuch lie.

This is a HUGE mistake, especially with 9/11 coming so soon.

“Geert Wilders, the popular MP whose film on Islam has fuelled the debate on race in Holland, wants an end to mosque building and Muslim immigration. Ian Traynor met him in The Hague,” Guardian UK

Gee I guess the Feds didn’t think the Islamofascist would actual send a plane /w terrorists to Holland.

Soooo should I stop preparing for Man-Made Disasters?

And Yet, The TSA TOOK my Grandmother’s Embroidery Scissors away! (and they were in a little bag with the half-finished cross stitchery, thread, and threaded needle, a clever disguise!)

[tapatio]

Wait...AP sources say "Unlikely two men were plotting terror"

So which is it?

One of the muzzies is a permanent resident. The other muzzie had a tourist visa courtesy of The Kenyan’s state department.
