AirTran e-mail stirs up Internet firestorm -with video (FAA now investigating)
The FAA is investigating an incident aboard an AirTran flight from Atlanta to Houston that touched off a firestorm of e-mails.
AirTran Flight 297 was delayed on November 17 after a passenger refused to turn off his cell phone.

According to the e-mail, Petruna and other passengers believed they witnessed a dry run for a terrorist attack. Petruna said he couldn’t talk on camera, but Chaplain Keith Robinson, who was also on the flight, did talk with us.

“Flight attendants were sobbing openly,” Robinson said. Robinson said a passenger getting off the plane warned him not to get on.
“He said ‘I just saw them there were these Middle Eastern men. They were taking pictures. They wouldn’t sit down, ‘” Robinson said. “Besides that, he said a couple of them were making gestures with their hand as if they were shooting people.”

OMG! Thanks for the update. Hope the truth goes mainstream.... Enough political correctness.
Thanks, I saw part of this the other day - I was dumbfounded to read they took them off and then let them back on!! The original flight crew left as did *some* of the passengers. Replaced by new crew.
I would have LEFT pronto - but I guess some have become sheep again. 9-11 is a distant memory.
This is a very troubling incident and should not be taken lightly by those that have authority to investigate it.
The are no doubt planning something big for our most sacred Christian holyday, Christmas.
Stay alert, folks. Do your own profiling. If you see a group of young insolent Arabic men board your flight—GET OFF!
