there are 14 terrorists on the plane, they don't want to hijack it, they want to blow it up. if two of them pose as the disruptors, as soon as the marshalls approach them, some of the other members of the team use that distraction to set off the bomb.

there is no way to stop an attack like this once you allow the possible terrorists to board the plane. none.

Actually, they have to get the bomb assembled. Realistically, 14 terrorists could quickly find themselves bleeding an broken if the passengers woke up on the wrong side of the flight or fight response. All it takes is one hot head to start it, and like a bar brawl, everyone thinking about it will join in.

I think this is probably why the gov. is downplaying it. Vigilantes make data gathering on these twits difficult. However, footage of 14 liquor cart curb jobs playing on Al Jazeera would warm my heart.

Believe me when I say, I'd like all Foreign Muslims deported and not allowed to return. These guys obviously did not blow up the plane. 14 guys to blow up one plane is a huge expediture of resources.

Personally I would have picked another flight. I have done that 3 times since the early 80's but not even once since 9/11. I haven't called the lady a liar and I am anything but PC. I will remain a little skeptical until the story gets someone other than the author confirming it.
