I champion the Pilot checking this guy out and profiling the arabs on board and even his becoming more concerned when hearing of a book with Arabic on the cover.

I Have a problem when he did not turn a suspected terroist over to the authorities especially considering this suspected terroist was armed.

I have a problem that unlike the thousands of pilots before him he was to lazy to call the Secret Service. Don't try to tell me he didn't have the number even my 10 year old could dial 1411 and get it. I have had employers do this to me to check out previous empolyers.

I also question how this story reached the media and would not put it pass a pilot to call the media to cause problems for the President (remenber the Bush Daughters?)

I have a problem that this pilot in his statement did not send regreats to the president that his actions caused a 24 hour delay in the Agents arrival.

I have a problem in AA not returning the Agents belongings to him.

I have a problem with AA not admiting that his mid-eastern appearance was a factor. If it truly wasn't I would have an even bigger problem with them.

I have a problem with AA for not apologizing for their part in this and lifting the restrictions on this Agent. At this point it is obvious to everyone that he should have been allowed on the plane.

I have a problem with AA not even bothering to spell check the reports before posting them on their web site.

I have a problem with AA not checking with the Agents supervisor to make sure this is indeed what was said to him by their operations manager.

I don't think AA owes the President an apology. I think the agent did/does. In fact, I don't want him guarding my president if he can be turned so easily by CAIR. This smells like a HUGE setup to get AA to relax its rules and I'm not buying it. CAIR hasn't told the truth about anything since the day they came into existence including why they exist. His affiliation with CAIR precludes the fact that he could have had any gov't representation he needed, if he needed any. The publicity is what this was/is all about, not to mention a thunderbolt of fear thrown directly at AA. His demeanor was not exactly professional and the aftermath is downright transparent.

You haven't read the thread. Go back to the previous section. An article was published in the NYT on 12/27 and it looks to be sourced from CAIR, the Arab ACLU. This has been orchestrated by the discrimination trial bar from the get-go.

How dumb are you? You actually think AA WANTS publicity on something like this?
