I would think that after today they would change this statement!

What if these missing students are related to the "disrupted" plans in the UK?

[ErnBatavia]

I assume his belongings were searched for "sports drinks"...

[GottaLuvAkitas1]

"Gee, if he only spoke some Spanish he'd qualify for catch-n-release, and maybe a Guest Worker permit!"

ROFLMAO!
Don't forget college tuition discount. That would've come in handy with him being a student and all.

[conservative in nyc]

Actually, 6 down 5 to go:
U.S. picks up six of 11 missing Egyptian students

[airborne]

The Delta supervisor contacted the university, who in turn told her to call the Chicago Police Department and the FBI, Bulger said.

WTF? Why didn't he call the police immediately?

[Joe 6-pack]

Too close to the Sears Tower for my tastes.

[rock_lobsta]

I'm sure there is one... and one of the stops must be Dearborn.

[tobyhill]

There's hundreds of "missing" foreign students here and unless the FBI thought something was wrong they wouldn't have came out public with this one.

[Vigilanteman]

Oh, no. They are just young men from a turd world country so fascinated by what Amerika has to offer that they wanted to tour and experience our wonderful country before reporting to school. < / sarcasm>

[vbmoneyspender]

if they didn't pose a threat, why did the FBI put out a nationwide alert for them? Maybe the FBI was just trying to help them find their way to Montana.

[MikeA]

I agree. In light of the incident in the UK, I cannot be quite so blase about the actions of these 11 creeps. They were acting very suspicious if you ask me and I'm for erroring on the side of caution here. The 11 need to be deported at once, and we need to seriously re-evaluate allowing any more student visas from Muslims nations.

[muawiyah]

Further evidence that these guys simply got lost in a very large, strange country where they didn't have good command of the language.

Now, if they'd spoken Spanish they could have gotten directions at the McDonald's Fur Shur.

[PBRSTREETGANG]

From all information these 11 Egyptian men appear to be wandering around the country clueless...which begs the question: "Why the hell were they let in in the first place?".

[Joe Boucher]

Just because the f.b.i. has been known to lie through their teeth and have innocent Americans put into jail knowingly for decades is no reason to have any distrust of the f.b.i.

[del4hope]

Have any of you seen the pictures of these guys? The same kind of emotionless steel cold faces similar to those of the 9/11s

[RushCrush]

They couldn't get on a plane to Bozeman, Montana but they can find their way to and around in OHare during all the contruction? something doesn't add up here and it doesn't take a genius to figure it out.

[GottaLuvAkitas1]

"Too close to the Sears Tower for my tastes."

Mine too; my father helped build it.

[Republicus2001]

He basically turned himself in by trying to use a ticket from New York to Bozeman at an airport 700 miles from New York City and screaming like a moron

actually mabbe yer on to something - what if he did want to get out but didn't want to appear to give up? hmmmm

[Leo Carpathian]

"The missing students pose no terrorism threat, FBI officials said."

Oh. OK.

All they had on them was some bottles of gel and funny smelling liquids in Gatorade bottles?
