Send the arabs home. I would have gone one step further. After 9-11, if you are here on a visa, from ANY country, that visa is revoked and you have 36 hours to leave the United States. If you do not comply, you will be tossed in jail for a minimum of two years and will be immediately deported upon your release.
Once you are in your home country, you may re-apply for a visa to come back. Visa applications could take five years to process.

We ate breakfast at the airport once in Terminal B, we had an 8:30 am flight. Usually we are in too much of a hurry to dine there. :)
In Newark there are a few Portuguese Restaurants that are worth going to.

Racial Profiling. Because of political correctness and the fear of offending a few, EVERYONE is now inconvenienced and forced to comply to new rules and regulations. Ah, for the good old days of air travel. One more huge kick into the gut of the already suffering airline industry.
Racial Profiling. Do it. Now. Screw political correctness.

It seems most people don't understand.
Anyone in the United States WHO IS NOT A CITIZEN is privileged to be here AT THE PLEASURE OF THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
Not the Congress, not the President, not some two bit corporation, not some CAIR PAC group, NOBODY ELSE.
The people of the United States of America.
And we have every right to put them on a slow boat to wherever if we chose.

So the short waits they said on TV at Newark was because of people taking care of themselves? So if a group of five Muslim men in their twenties decided to "take care of themselves" and go behind the counter and check their own baggage, you would be OK with that?

That's not much of a horror story. A bit of ordeal perhaps.
Now if his flight had blown up in mid-air - now that would have been a horror story.

Sounds like Lebanon right now with all the main roads bombed, so people can't get out, electricity's off and medical responders - and food deliverers - can't get in. "Sounds like Lebanon right now with all the main roads bombed, so people Hezbollah terrorists can't get out, electricity's off and medical responders - and food deliverers - can't get in."
There, I fixed that typo for you.

Worse would be the guy next to you realizing that one doesn't necessarily need a bathroom for relief... Number 2, I agree. But he might have a case for Number 1--- since a full bladder may qualify as a "liquid container", and get him rejected from the plane...?

Do you hear sort of a hollow sound? That's me...echoing what you said. Thank you, Brits and MI5.

Send the arabs home. It's not ARABS that are the problem; many of them are Christian. It is radical MUSLIMS that are the problem, and much of the funding for them is coming from Iran, which is PERSIAN, not Arab.

That's my thought as well. On FOX, MSNBC, etc., there were numerous people who were interviewed who knew that their flights were cancelled, but they still stayed at the airport - making it far more difficult for those who actually had a chance they would be getting out of the airport on that day. My guess is that there were thousands of people at Heathrow who had absolutely no reason to be there, other than they didn't want to truck it back to the hotel for the night.
I can perhaps see waiting it out at the airport if you're a single traveller - you have a much better chance of getting a single empty seat on standby. But with a family? Forget it. Call the reservation line or see a gate agent, find space on the next flight with enough seats, and wait it out.

They said there were long lines, but obviously that is a huge, huge understatement.
Huge understatement.

The difference being, Dou'gs friend didn't put terrorists into office or support terrorists. The lebanese chose unwisely...
