"No red flags at all," Catalano said. "It was a routine traffic stop."

More proof, that our immigration policies are a complete "free for all".

[Huck]

What should have been done differently?

Another hijacker, the head terrorist -- Mohammed Atta -- was also stopped by police for a traffic violation, and he was issued a ticket and given a court date, in Broward County, FL.

The above stop happened in May. He never showed up in court, and they never went after him. It ws reported in the Ft. Lauderdale newspapers.

"There were no circumstances to question the gentleman more than we did," Mitchell said.

Well, at least this ba**ard was on Flight 93. This means that he saw the resolve of American patriots prior to dying and going to hell.

Too bad good Moslems don't drink. If the police had suspected alcohol ( instead of just going NINETY MILES PER HOUR ) the jerk would have had to walk to Boston , that is if he was not still locked up on 9/11!

Why should a foreign man going 90 MPH just be allowed to move along?

I guess I'm being thick. What should have happened during this stop? Should we all be required to present proof of citizenship when we are pulled over? What would be used to indicate citizenship? A Driver's License? A passport? BTW--I do agree that our immigration policies are a free for all, I'm just not sure what could be done in this particular instance.

FBI agent Michael Clemens said Jarrah was not on any federal lists of suspected terrorists at the time of the stop.

• Did they have valid id?
• Did they have valid greencards?
• Did they speek broken english fluant english or just their native tongue?
• Were they acting nervous or suspicious sweating profusly or acting jittery to the point of paranoid confusion?
• Were they pulled over in a neighborhood they didnt look like they belonged in or where their ethnicity didnt quite fit the profile of the neighborhood?

  I think racial profiling works in cases such as this but thats just my opinion!

That speed on a California freeway would get you a ticket for reckless driving. Anything over 80mph is viewed as a serious violation. The fine quoted is miniscule for the speed. But then it is Maryland, so it figures. They have more important things to do, like keep Santa Claus from coming to town.

the only thing the troopers are interested in is laying fines on drivers locking them up doesnt puts no money in state coffers that run by a money grubbing demo govenor If you comit a crime in MD. you will get a fine faster then jail time
