WASHINGTON (CNN) -- A man was arrested Saturday night at O'Hare International Airport in Chicago, Illinois, when he tried to board a flight with nine knives, a can of Mace and a stun gun, police said.

The man may have some connection with two men who were detained Sept.12 in Texas as material witnesses in the investigation into the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, CNN has learned.

Sickening!

THese guys just keep being allowed to roam the country where they'll be able to murder more Americans. Yet we are being ask to give up our rights and freedoms unnecessarily. And the Big Government /Big Brother's power over law-abiding citizens is being greatly expanded! Sickening!

Pray for America

And demand Congress enforce our immigration laws now!

All the other stories I have found are leaving out the fact that this guy (a maybe would-be or will-be terrorist) used the same address as two others who where are material witnesses in the September 11, attacks and where caught carrying incriminating materials and arrested themselves on September 12, 2001 for doing so.

Maybe the government knows something we don't know.

Why be so blatantly dishonest dirtboy!!! You know the other thread was posted only 8 minutes before mine, so you know full well it wasn't under Breaking when I started posted this thread.

8 minutes to post a thread? Sheez. Of course, there were several other threads about the O'Hare incident, but you posted this into Breaking News anyway - like just about every one of your posts, which merit Breaking News or Front Page News standing to you.

But like a little spoiled brat girl you had to complain to mommy about my thread being posted. You should be ashamed of you foolishness.

You should be ashamed that, after months of having your posts yanked from Breaking News by the moderators because they are not Breaking News, you still insist on spamming that sidebar.

Why are you always trying so hard to have important threads pulled?

Why do you consider this thread pulled? You're still posting to it. Why do try so hard to get important threads exposing government corruption & negligence pulled?

You are very welcome.

Here's another: Al Qaeda Suspect Detained THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

November 5, 2001

WASHINGTON

suspected Al Qaeda operative observed meeting with hijacker Khalid Almihdhar in Malaysia in 2000 has been detained in the Middle East for questioning in connection with prior terrorist attacks.

The unnamed suspect was being questioned by intelligence agents about his possible contact with the hijacker, his suspected involvement in the bombing of the destroyer Cole and a foiled plot to bomb a hotel in Jordan filled with Americans during the millennium celebrations, officials said yesterday.

The man was videotaped by Malaysian authorities in January 2000 meeting with Almihdhar and other supporters of terrorist Osama Bin Laden. When the man was linked to the Cole bombing this summer, Almihdhar and one of his associates, Nawaf Alhazmir, were placed on the CIA's terror watch list. The two still managed to slip into the country and were aboard the American Airlines jetliner that crashed into the Pentagon.

The man recently detained is "very important" because he's a midlevel operative in the Al Qaeda terror network, said a retired intelligence official.

Maybe they released him to watch where he'll go and with whom he associates?

Well, they may've missed this good citizen who surely meant no harm, but it's a dang good thing they had the good sense to clear a terminal and deplane hundreds of passengers over that menacing pilot who had those evil nail clippers hidden in his bag!

I feel safe now.

Very safe.

Protected.

Cared for.

Dadgum invincible.

i noticed it was a duplicate and removed it.

United Airlines immediately fired at least seven people

Whether or not the man was re-arrested, I wish the FBI and the INS would fire people who let terrorists loose without a proper investigation. These agencies need major cleaning out.
