What ever happened to the muslem guy with with 79M and a computer with nuke info?
He was wearing a fashionable orange jump suit that clashed with his shackles.
I trust this isn't the scenario of this thread.
I got a friend that works gates for AWA at MSP, she had an interesting night I bet...

Suspicious airline passenger to stay locked up
A federal judge overturned a lower ruling Monday and ordered detention for a man stopped at Detroit Metropolitan Airport with articles about nuclear plants and suitcase bombs and the anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
U.S. District Judge Paul D. Borman ruled Sisayehiticha Dinssa, 34, was both a flight risk and a danger to the community. He overturned a ruling by U.S. Magistrate Judge R. Steven Whalen, who earlier on Monday ordered Dinssa released under strict supervision.
Dinssa, an Ethiopian-born U.S. citizen who lists his address as Dallas, Texas, was arrested Tuesday at Detroit Metropolitan Airport after arriving from Kenya by way of Amsterdam.
He is charged with currency smuggling after telling Customs agents he was only carrying about $18,000 before a search of his luggage turned up nearly $80,000.
Though he faces no terrorism charges to date, Assistant U.S. Attorney Leonid Feller told Borman that evidence found in Dinssa's luggage and inside his laptop computer makes him a potential threat to national security.
Agents found articles about nuclear plants, suitcase bombs and a hard-copy commemorative edition of the Dallas Morning News from Sept. 11, 2002 -- the one-year anniversary of the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon, Feller said.
Agents also found a hand-written note saying: "This community is angry. Something is going to happen. We are going to see justice. This is a powder keg waiting to go off."

Cheese, Velveeta, thanks for the timely update on that ongoing story.
;-)
Let me guess, Whalen just has to be a Clinton appointment?
Posted a few days ago when this happened, but Dallas keeps popping up too.
I also recall reading about Phoenix having a significant Muslim population. And Dallas. We need that map that a freeper always posts on these threads about this.
Here's another thread from today that's also interesting:

"What ever happened to the muslem guy "
This is funny. I did a google search, typing in - - 'muslim stopped plane cash'...
Google came back with 'Did you mean "muslim stopped plane crash"
Really!
You're welcome.
I happened to have it handy, since I had just posted it on TM.
Thinking hard...
My son yesterday was to fly to Pensacola, FL to begin OCS training. His girlfriend dropped him off at the airport and handed him an envelope that said on the outside "Do not open until aboard the plane". TSA saw the envelope and detained him. They wanted to see what was in the envelope. Today, only my son, his girlfriend, and the TSA knows the contents of the envelope. I don't guess it a threat to national security, but he nearly missed his flight because of it!
Ten O'clock local time is coming up and the news said there'd be a "live report". Tune in and tell us whas' up.
I would tune in but I'm a few thousand miles from Minnesota :-)
