When the company didn't receive payment on $2,500 worth of merchandise it had delivered, officials called the FBI, which launched an investigation, Gulczynski said. So does this mean that if his handlers had actually paid for the materials, the FBI wouldn't have been contacted and this loser could have gone on to blow up an aircraft or airport? Now the terrorists have learned a lesson: pay for your stuff and you won't get caught.

Interesting.
Now that passengers are willing to resist and even kill troublemakers in the cabin, and now that pilots are sealed into their cockpits and inaccessible from the cabin, Al-Qaeda has developed a new strategy - pilot impersonation.
Rather clever - I hope the authorities learn quickly from this new development and takes steps to neutralize this tactic.
Numerous times I have been on flights where the pilot and flight crew were running late, and when they arrived they just ran right onboard with minimal hassle.,p>Perhaps he was hoping on just that kind of lax scrutiny.

Are you nuts? Shoot him later - extract information from him now, by any means necessary.

I was about to make the same point. My God, this company is selling pilot uniforms and instruction manuals to someone named Mahmoud Maawad, and they don't notify the FBI immediately! The Patriot Act was supposed to protect us, not the terrorists!

DVDs titled "Ups and Downs of Takeoffs and Landings,"Well at least he had an interest in learning how to land.

Maawad has been in the country illegally since 1999... More to add to the Clinton legacy, I see.

All he would have to have done is pick up a copy of "Flying for Dummies" and he would have been good to go.

Maawad has been in the country illegally since 1999, and has used a false Social Security number to enroll in schools and open a bank account, Parker said. He's been working off-the-books for cash at a North Memphis convenience store, and was arrested by Shelby County sheriff's deputies last spring for selling alcohol to a minor.No, border security isn't a national security issue.

Thank God these people are generally idiots. I hasten to recall how Mohammad Atta, in his defining moment, came within minutes of missing his flight... And then there's Moussaoui attempt to learn how to fly planes but not land them...
To: wideawake
Of course. I meant to say AFTER he's been drained of all information via Industrial Strength Cattle Prods to tender areas.

He needs a one-way ticket to Gitmo. STAT.

That can't be right. An illegal alien connected to what appears to be terrorist related activities? (sarc)

Its my hope that they discovered him through other means that the FBI don't want to disclose to the public because they don't want the terrorist to be that smart.

The Prudent elected officials would stop allowing students into the country that are between 18 and 40 and of middle eastern descent.
Foreign exchange students do not collect flight uniforms, and pose as pilots. Use stolen social security numbers and behave in this manner.
When we wake up, we might save this country. We used to be concerned about the majority of the population, now we are only concerned about not discriminating against middle eastern men who are between 18 to 40 and pose a threat against us. Those men are protected under our laws. No sense.

Extract information first, then....
this reminds me of what my father said if he was a judge and guys like the Shoe Bomber came into his court. After the testimony, my father would signal the court guard to come over, he would wisper in their ear "Give him the #1" and accused would be escorted from the courtroom never to be heard from or seen again.
This guy needs the #1 treatment.

Very few training manuals cover ONLY how to take off.
