Jim Angle of Fox News reported the other night that SS agents are provided a phone number to give pilots or authorities at airports(direct link) when their paperwork is questioned(he says it happens all the time).
I usually takes 5min to clear up the situation. Angle said, this pilot refused to do so thinking it was a phony number and whoever would answer would be a friend/cohort of the supposed agent.
He didn't even try.

I don't know what to make of this whole story, I'll wait till more facts come out.

Given all that happened on 911, and all we have learned since then, would you have automatically assumed the number he gave you to be genuine? Since we know the terrorists are capable of forging most documents, should the pilot have just taken this mans word that it was genuine?

The one question that I have heard asked but not answered many times on this forum is was the SS man a Christan arab or a Muslim one? Amazing how little we know.

Taking it a step further to the "out there" situation...If he had called and checked to see if the agent was scheduled to fly. How could they know if this guy was the real agent. The real agent could have been in the trunk of the car dead. The guy could not fill out the paper work, copped an uncool attitude, and he had a gun. I think the agent ID was questioned but was kicked off for just being a jerk. I am with the pilot. This guy sounds like a care of Air Rage with a Gun.
