This is one of the Egyptian students arrested today. 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, bringing attention to himself.

Not the brightest bulb in the box, I'd say.

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

Oh. OK.

[pctech]

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

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

[weegee]

Must not have heard that the whole country was looking for him. Must also have missed the media alerts about beefed up security at airports.

And CNN tvs are everywhere at the airport.

[RushCrush]

What kind of dipwad at the airline counter calls the school instead of the police ASAP?

[COUNTrecount]

Or a diversionary tactic.Maybe he's the expendable bulb in the pack.

"Not the brightest bulb in the box, I'd say."

I'd have to agree. LOL

Now wait to hear this from the left:

"You would be upset and act like that too if you were lost trying to find your college in the wrong state".

[dinoparty]

Um, I guess we can now assume that these Egyptians are not innocent. Anyway, what innocent person would hear the huge media uproar about his AWOL status and not go to the local police station to clear his name?

[Fitzcarraldo]

How did he get to Chicago from NYC - if he took a bus, why didn't he just go all the way to Montana?

[martin_fierro]

Three down, eight to go.

[DTogo]

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

[Founding Father]

He must have gone to NYC or Chicago public schools.

[PogySailor]

So, will the Fed's investigate how he got from NYC to Chicago? Do we have a Islamist underground railroad?

It's hard to find good, qualified suicide-bombers these days!

Sounds like some geniuses that have been in front of me in the lines
at the airport...

[ErnBatavia]

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

[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.

[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.

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

[thinking]
