If they were flying one carrier from city A to B and from C (near B) back to A, that has a name I forget. Something like "split ticket" or something. If there's a name for it, it can't be that rare an occurence. For instance, flying into MA, driving to NY, and flying back from NY.
Just FYI: The casino in question is in El Cajon, CA, which is just east of San Diego, which is a few hours south of L.A.
well...its a mystery and either way a scary one.
i for one dont recall ever reading that all band members should goto the toilet at the same time....but hey thats me...
Hmmm, given the musician community's taste for sharing certain smokable herbs, certain elements of this story start to make a lot more sense... ;-)
None of the 9/11 hijackers had any "cover." They didn't need any to attend flight school.
No, the next terrorists will be much like the previous terrorists, and the joke of ailine security, and the joke of border security, and the joke of visa enforcement we have will permit them to hit us again.
Airline employees lie to customers 20 times each day, even when they don't need to, just to stay in practice. I'd bet they would tell a planeload of nervous people ANYTHING. to keep them quiet right up to the point when the pilots' throts have been slit and they are on their way into a tall building.
It is VERY unlikely there were air marshalls on board. Us little people don't get that kind of service.
YOu can also bet there were no congresscritters, high bureuacrats, or other Important People on that flight.
My other questions remain: Has anyone spoken to other passengers, such as someone who sat next to the guy with the nefarious McDonald's bag? What have the pilots said? Since when are there "many" air marshalls on board a plane?
I think the airlines say that this practice is illegal (violates the contract of the ticket). If they catch you, they won't honor the rest of the ticket.
In this case, perhaps the one-way fares on separate airlines were cheaper than the convenience of booking a round-trip ticket, but it also only adds to the suspicion. Are they really just honest musicians or are they deep agents, laying in wait until the Queen of Hearts pops up?

I think you're totally right. But we're in a day and age now where even cracking a joke about bombs and terrorism in an airport can get you detained for a considerable length of time, and possibly even arrested. Scaring the infidels and engaging in general intimidating behavior during a flight should be illegal as well.
Or someone who practiced law for awhile and then came to his senses.
bttt
I agree with your assessment of future attacks. I still can't understand why President Bush doesn't do more to enforce the borders.
Yeah, but what about those nuclear missles found in Iraq?!?
Have you tried Preparation H? I think it might modify your attitude based on its purported usages.
It took you 20 hours to come up with that? :)

Hey. This was posted 2 or 3 days ago. All these Terror in the Skies Again, part II, and Solved posts are like the Energizer Bunny.
Nah, it took me 10 seconds to come up with it. The rest of the time I spent mixing up an extremely potent version of that product especially with you in mind. You see, I've got a lot of experience with the distal end of the alimentary canal so it was easy to diagnose your particular malady. As a horse vet, you work on a lot of jackasses.
You're a vet? That explains the BS.
