Women at Love Field 'acting suspiciously'
Dallas police and federal terrorism officials are investigating two women, both dressed in camouflage pants under their traditional Muslim robes and scarves, who were seen conducting what appeared to be surveillance and acting suspiciously at Dallas Love Field.
One of the women, Kimberly "Asma" Al-Homsi, 42, of Arlington, who is on probation for a 2005 Garland road rage incident involving a fake grenade, is said to have long-range assault rifle and explosives training, according to a Dallas police intelligence bulletin issued March 5.
"I'm a trained sniper and proud of it," Ms. Al-Homsi said in an interview Thursday after first refusing to comment on whether she has any terrorism ties. She then said no.
Police officials said they have no direct evidence the women have ties to terrorism.
On the afternoon of Feb. 25, Ms. Al-Homsi and a friend who could not be reached for comment, Aisha Abdul-Rahman Hamad, 50, of Irving, were spotted at Love Field wearing Muslim robes and camouflage pants and "acting suspiciously," the bulletin states. The surveillance video shows one of the women walking back and forth, apparently pacing off distances.
When confronted, the women told officials they were looking for the Frontiers of Flight museum. They left in a red Honda. Descriptions of the incident and the car were circulated at the airport.
Two days later, the museum executive director was leaving for the evening when he noticed the Honda parked facing the runway. A woman, later identified as Ms. Al-Homsi, was sitting on the hood, looking through binoculars at the airplanes. He told the women the museum was closing, and they left.
Police issued one of them a citation for having no front license plate and failing to change her address on a driver's license.

The Hatfield family tree has thousands of branches (with McCoys hanging from a few of them...LOL) I know I’m a direct descendent of feud fame, but I don’t know Virgil or Bessie. If they’re part of the original clan, then they’re relatives of mine.
I know you are right! But why won’t the government do something about this?
Well, isn’t this special. And I’ll just bet that this little hobby of airplane watching...while dressed in cammies and burkas...add on the fact that one of her friends (Osama’s former secretary) for more than 20 years and who is a known terrorist plotter is purely something of coincidence.
And these women are walking around free, because...?

Let’s see: Trained sniper, pacing off the distance, looking at airplanes through binoculars — if they aren’t under surveillance we’re in trouble.
Oh that'll teach her a lesson! I'm sure she won't use her terrorist skills on Americans now.
