You're talking about the Florida prank this morning? I didn't know they were from NY and can't help re: sleeper cells. But here's the latest I've heard on them, just fyi (click on the links if interested).....

Per FOX News Channel, it seems that the three detainees are from three different ME countries - Pakistan, Iran & Jordan. Possibly they didn't speak a common language except for English I suppose. Also, their story is they were heading to a hospital for some medical seminar and their alibi (reservations) is confirmed by the hospital where the seminar is to be held. That still doesn't explain their conversation and behavior, etc.

I-75 is still closed on that 20 mile stretch.....

PS: The speculation is that they were playing a "joke" on the lady in the booth next to them. Looks like the joke is on them, imho..........

They are still being retained for further questioning, etc.

The 3 "medical students" were released about 45 minutes ago. Now, they disappear into our free society. Even though they could be prosecuted for making a terrorist threat (hoax), if they disappear, how can they be charged with a crime?

The one guy's sister (in white muslim garb) said she thought the Georgia hero was LYING. Throw them all out. They are sympathizers of Al Quaeda. I don't know where the sister was holding her press conference from but you know, profiling, prejudice, blah, blah, blah.

And, the cops didn't release their names because I'm sure they're afraid someone is going to harm them and then the families are going to sue the cops.
