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.

[sappy]

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

I wouldn’t fly this week for anything.

[Deaf Smith]

Any WASP would be prosecuted for causing alarm.

[Son House]

Anyone heard of their immigration status?

[paulycy]

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.

[VanDeKoik]

Soooo should I stop preparing for Man-Made Disasters?

[tapatio]

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

So which is it?

Sounds like a probe looking for a weakness or lax in security.

Possibly “dry run” for a future attack.

[Do Not Make Fun Of His Ears]

And they won’t let me on with my fingernail clippers and shampoo.

I always tape my phone to Pepto-Bismol bottles. Doesn’t everyone?

[Batman11]

“but were allowed to travel for “investigative purposes,”

I am not believing this BS for a minute! Not only can you not trust this government to keep these jackasses off our planes, but you also cannot believe one word they say after they screw up!! It is preposterous that they would allow passengers, who have been identified as possible terror risks, to board a plane and fly with hundreds of other passengers! I don’t care how many air marshalls they have on board. What genius thought this was a good idea? I want his name!!

[a fool in paradise]

US official said that they are not suspected of any terrorism.

[Upstate NY Guy]

This is beyond outrageous -- knowingly allowing terrorists to board a plane! Why weren't THEY put through extra security and ARRESTED BEFORE boarding the flight!!!!

Might be because Obama will no longer allow water boarding or other harsh interrogation methods. Anti terrorism may now be limited to following the guys around and seeing who they talk to.

[Blood of Tyrants]

I would hope that the TSA was shrewd enough to determine that the “bombs” were fake (in their checked luggage, I think, so they could make that determination) and just watch them to see what they would do and who they would call.

Airport security should be handled by the military.
