persons-of-interest seem to be experimenting with carrying components onto airplanes. After the airplane is airborne, they 'visit the facilities' and collect the components for assembly

This has been going on for some time (dry runs). Trust me. Our government is well aware of it. The fact that it continues is cause for concern.

I was recently at a non-US airport walking in the terminal when I observed 5 able-bodied men in jogging suits with carry-ons entering the through security. Suffice it to say in that airport (sweats, with everyone else in shorts and tank tops), they stood out like sore thumbs. I watched them, and followed them to where the waiting area, which was near our aircraft's gate. Then I spoke to my fellow crewmembers about it - "If those 5 get on my airplane, we aren't going". Not a single crewmember disagreed. They got on another airliner bound for CONUS - but more pilots need to be willing to use their COMMAND AUTHORITY to say no to things that even LOOK fishy.

Sorry, if you look fishy, CONVINCE me you aren't. BTW, if they had been 5 Swedes I would have just as likely had suspicions. PAY ATTENTION.

trust me, if this were to happen with our current justice system, first the ACLU will sue the airlines and win $$$s. then they will use hate crimes legislation to start putting these pilots in jail.

we cannot solve this problem with the current judicial system we have - the liberal judges, the lack of tort reform, the sheeple packing the juries - its a lost cause right now.
