A truck-driving student is in custody in Boston after raising suspicions when he wasn’t interested in learning how to back up his rig.
WLVI-TV (Ch. 56) reported last night that the would-be trucker is a 28-year-old Muslim from India and had overstayed his visa. An investigation is under way to see whether there is any connection between his unusual behavior and a terrorism plot. Federal authorities were alerted by instructors at the Nationwide Tractor Trailer Driving School in Smithfield, R.I., WLVI reported.
The student was described as a resident of New York, with driver’s licenses from New York, New Jersey and Rhode Island.
“Every indicator was there,” R.I. State Police Major Steve O’Donnell told WLVI. “Any one of these things alone is fine, but four or five together . . . ”
bttt
How dare they profile a directionally challenged muslim.

At least we are learning. Should have been concerned when the flight students didn't want to learn how to land.
This kind of information shouldn't be widely reported, except among trucking trainers. I imagine Muslim flight trainees have figured out that they have to fake an interest in learning how to land. Now Muslim trucking trainees will fake an interest in backing up.
Will CAIR rush to his aid? Will they sue? Stay tuned for the latest in the battle of civilization against violent savages.
Outstanding!
The country needs more people like this and fewer Dick Durbins/.
This is good news that we seem to being more to invistigate this stuff, but I wish it was done a little more discretely, so as not to tip off the other potential sleeper cells.
Paging Mitch Rapp...........
I said this in the thread that was posted just before yours.
"and had overstayed his visa."
After all the money spent since 9/11 and our government still allows this to happen!
This, is outrageous - they have less hassle then we Americans do trying to fly on a friggen airplane.
Muzzies don't need to learn how to land planes, either.
being more = doing more
"You know who I feel sorry for? Arab-Americans who sincerely want to break into crop-dusting."
Yikes. Thanks for posting this.
Howls of protest from CAIR and the ACLU in 5...4...3...2...
Yes, we've seen this scenario before, with the 9/11 hijackers. Overstayed visas, peculiar interest in professional training. Plus, the guy has three different driver's licenses! In my view, there are enough indications that the Muzzie terrorists are going to launch something involving trucks and hazardous materials. We've had a odd increase in Muslims applying for Hazmat licenses. Here's hoping you and yours stay safe.
Jack Bauer wears Mitch Rapp jammies.
Oh, I'm sure the ACLU is all over this already.
That is really all that should have been reported.
We don't need to give terrorists a road map of what to do or not to in order to avoid drawing attention. R.I. State Police Major Steve O’Donnell shouldn't be giving press conferences.
