NBC News contacted the FBI who confirmed Mrs. Jacobsen's story, the flight, the 14 syrians etc. Although this was posted in her follow-up story nothing could be gained by liying about this.

From the article: "The producer I spoke with on the telephone said the FBI had confirmed that 14 Syrians were on the flight, they confirmed the details about what happened upon landing in Los Angeles, and they said that the accounts from the flight attendants regarding what happened during the flight matched the accounts given by me and my husband to the FBI after we landed.

Thanks. I'll be interested to see if NBC airs the story.

You've got a good point, lying about things at this point would likely only lead to embarrassment or loss of professional reputation, which is one reason I'm more inclined than not to believe her.
