TSA: 2 passengers talking ‘suspiciously’ removed from plane (Phoenix- Sky Harbor)

(snipped)

Suzanne Trevino, a spokesperson with Transportation Security Administration (TSA), said US Airways Flight 192 was inbound from the Orlando Airport when several passengers reported seeing two other passengers talking “suspiciously.”

FBI spokesperson Manuel Johnson said a female passenger overheard the two Middle Eastern men speaking in a foreign language and reported them to airline staff.

According to Johnson, the two men were talking about being late for their flight and not being able to shop at the airport before boarding their flight to Phoenix.

The men were reportedly watching the movie “The Kingdom” on a portable DVD player while talking, and the female passenger, who was sitting near the men, thought this was suspicious and reported them to flight personnel.

TSA and officers from the Phoenix Police Department met the plane at the gate when it arrived at Sky Harbor Saturday night.

Johnson said the two men were removed from the flight and questioned by the FBI.

It was determined the men had done nothing wrong and they were released and allowed to continue on to their final destination, Los Angeles.

Obama gets more unwelcome news from Detroit
By Anne E. Kornblut

HONOLULU — For the second time in three days, President Obama had his vacation interrupted with unwelcome news of a disturbance of a flight landing in Detroit.

Since his arrival four days ago, Obama has not made any public comments about the original Detroit incident, on Christmas, or emerged from his vacation home except to go to the gym, play golf and, briefly on Christmas Day, shake hands with military officers.

I see no problem here, we are sending a message to ANY person that falls in a certain profile. Undoubtedly there will be innocents, they should just not travel right now.

And frankly I see no innocents, I suspect ANY Muslim right now.

A dry run perhaps but in recent writings, they will do a coordinated attack on as many as 8 cities and not use airliners because the passengers are now fighting back.
