"There is another thread that says the pilot actually asked a total of five men to exit the plane for further security checks. All of them appeared to be arab."

. . .if one appears to be a problem with bad paperwork et al AND is carrying a gun. . .would it not make sense to 'check' others at this point? The 'MO' is that they do not do these missions alone. . .

Too bad for them that this agent raised the 'issue' to begin with; obviously if 'ethnicity' were the only motivation, these 'others' would have had a problem before they even sat down. The reality is, this is understandable and again, just using some commonsense judgement.

Context, context, context. . .all part of a sorry picture we have to live with given the times. . .

You still don't get it. What if the SS Agent had really been a terroist? Did the pilot do the right thing then? Would you have wanted to be nearby this terroist with a real automatic weapon upset and irate and determinet to attack a plane.

The Pilot claims he thought he was a terroist. This scares me more. He lets an armed terroist free???
