Is that the same guy they arrested getting off the plane in Miami, or a different one? The Miami arrest was the same day the flap over the three medical stoog--opps, students was happening. I can't remember if they said this guy was a banker but do know they said he had terrorist ties and was on the list of wanted people.

By the way, whatever happened to those three medical students?

Yes, he'd overstayed his visa some time ago (as usual).
But I'm pretty sure it's not the same one who was involved in the plane incident, which did happen around that time, also.
This man was trying to go by train from South Florida to Palatka, but didn't have ID and had his companion tried to buy the ticket for him (in cash). I have no idea what lead them to state that he was on his way to DC. They expected him to meet other people in Palatka, if I recall correctly. Which I may not...it was not heavily reported, and I only noticed it because it struck me as so strange that anybody like that would go to Palatka inthe first place.
