And you think this agent and CAIR aren't? Remember who made this public, NOT American Airlines.
Prove it. There were plenty of people at BWI that knew what happened or had observed all or part of it. You dont think an armed Arab-American at the gate claiming to be a secret service agent and arguing with the pilot and gate personnel, especially with MD police standing by, is not going to attract attention these days. Get real.
The agent says he went public with the new conference because American Airlines was putting out disinformation about the event. Note the info was on American Airlines website prior to the Agents news conference.
