"Anyone with dark skin or who spoke with an accent was taken aside and searched," passenger Mike Glass of Seattle told the Times. "And then they went to any male with too much facial hair."

Has any liberal dared squawk about racial profiling yet?

So I wonder if the suspects who got on the plane were carrying knives? If so, it doesn't say much for stepped-up security. If not, what could they accomplish?

Thanks for the post, TOO!

I thought I read a short time ago that all terrorists had been identified - then we find some more - and they're boarding a plane.

They have this "cell" system.....so we can't be sure when or what the second shoe is.

>>After passengers had boarded United Airlines Flight 23, bound for Los Angeles, officials told them it had been canceled

Being canceled is not the worse thing that could happen to Flight 23.

The officers, with weapons drawn, then removed the three from the plane.

These three need to profusely thank those officers. The guns were drawn, I'm sure, to protect them from their fellow passengers, who would have loved to get their hands on them. Kudos to those LEO's, who were able to resist the temptation!

Those terrorists must be retarted or on some kind of dope. To think that they could waltz in and not get caught does not make sense!

[Mike Darancette]

Give them the Amadiou Diallo suite.

[outlawcam]

We'll see how the events play out... But has anyone else given thought to or heard about the possibility that these people being caught are "copy cat" terrorists--merely sympathizers who know nothing about the actual conspiracy?

[AppyPappy]

A natural byproduct after we claimed one of the terrorists was talking. They are trying to flee the country.

Thanks. BUMP!

"And then they went to any male with too much facial hair."

Oops. Guess I better stay away from airports...

FMCDH (btw, what is too much facial hair?)

[Daus]

Can you imagine the beat down any 'terrorist' is going to get from his fellow passengers, the moment they get up and make their announcement?

The only reason they were successful the first time is that everyone on board assumed they would ultimatatly live after the highjacking was over. Now the assumption is once a hijacking begins, is that you will be flown into the side of a building. It's going to be like the WWF up there is someone tries this again.

I would suggest any one of Arab descent who is flying and needs to use the bathroom, to just wait and stay in their seat. :)

Time for mass deportation of every non us citizen of middle eastern decent. Follow by denying entry to same at all borders and ports. This is war!

[b4its2late]

How long before the FALN terrorists that x42 released will do some damage?

"Anyone with dark skin or who spoke with an accent was taken aside and searched," passenger Mike Glass of Seattle told the Times. "And then they went to any male with too much facial hair."

Uh oh. Wait 'til the PC Police hear about this!

[DouglasKC]

Just think about how many lives were saved by shutting down ALL air travel almost immediately...good one Bush administration!

Fox News is now reporting that Senator Joseph Biden says this story is crap.

Three males refused to disembark and argued with the flight crew, who called airport security. The men vanished before security arrived, the source said.

And they let them get away? Where the hell are they now?
