3 'Strange' Men Cause Flight Diversion

:rolleyes:

Quote:

Other men of “Middle Eastern descent” were passing notes and “writing in their notebooks,” a source told NBC Chicago.

:rolleyes:

Quote:

Three passengers were removed from the aircraft, and the remaining passengers were re-screened through security, before being sent on their way.

if screening was so effective why were they screened twice?

Doing things repetitively is compulsive behavior. Compulsive behavior plays a critical role in the TSA culture.;)

Perhaps these gentlemen were in the US (God forbid, perhaps they're American citizens!) ready to invest millions and put some US citizens to work...

Based on the comments from the linked story in the OP (see below), I don't think many Americans particularly care whether or not these gentlemen were innocent. Anyway, at least they took good notes, eh? :rolleyes:

Why is this an issue? Middle Eastern people should simply NOT be allowed in any US registered aircraft, aircraft in US airspace OR in our airports and this would NOT be news. The public needs to start removing themselves from ANY aircraft that has Middle Eastern scum get on board. The airlines would lose so many passengers that the idiots ruling over us would have to bow out.

Maybe something that peace lovin moooslim stuffed up his butt or swallowed wasn't working out so well. Either way we will never hear the truth about the peace loving moooslim.

moral of the story - if you are in the waiting area with middle easterners - go to the rest room and MISS the plane - y you can always schedule a later flight.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry at the stupidity of these posters....God help us, indeed if these are the type of people who vote. No wonder the country is going down the toilet.

It also plays a role in diagnosis of psychosis. Coincidence?
