"Wonder who they grabbed?"

Here is a hint from the blog:

"It seems his plane was stormed by agents with machine guns, who seized a Middle Eastern passenger from my brother-in-law's row and removed him from the plane."

Strange that this story isn't on fire. Doubt any MSM will be able to slip out of papal coverage anytime soon to mention it.

that's interesting, in that while sharp objects (knives and scissors) are now being allowed, lighters and matches will continue to be banned.

what, multiple Muzzies removed from an international flight headed towards a site of the 9/11 outrages?

MSM wouldn't dare touch it...too insensitive.

Now if angry Catholics had been hustled off the plane, then CNN would be all over it.
