Ann Coulter: What can I do to make your flight more uncomfortable?

I generally stick with Southwest, Continental, and Airtran, but I'll keep US Airways in mind.

[RockinRight]

Doesn't mean they're backpedaling.

It's called "CYA for the Media" and that's what they are doing.

[RockinRight]

Wouldn't surprise me.

Let's hope the reason the agent was gone was because they were checking him out, and gave him the ticket so as not to cause a scene and apprehend him as he got on the plane.

I've never flown AA, because at one of the two airports I fly out of they have little presence and at the other, they have none at all. Guess I'm not missing much.

I've done it. For a weekend trip, I carried-on my small suitcase, it was less hassle than checking it. And it was one-way because I found a better price and flight time on another airline coming back. Southwest had the better price flying out and Continental the better price flying back (for the time of day I wanted the flight) so I did two one-ways, one on each airline. What disturbed me was that they didn't say a word to me on either flight with either airline...

"Sounds like these Imams were deliberately taunting the airline, and the system."

My thinking too. The strategy is to emulate the real thing to the point they cause us to become desensitized to the cues that would occur during the real thing.

Brit Hume and the Fox All Stars discussed this on the program today and showed the handwritten note on screen. Brit noted that the imam Shahin said that that was the worst experience of his life. Brit commented that he wished something like that had been the worst event in his life. He didn't elaborate--but he lost a son who committed suicide.

US Airways is my official airline now. Northwest, which eventually flew the Allah-spouting Muslims to their destinations, is off my list. You want to really hurt a U.S. air carrier's business? Have Muslims announce that it's their favorite airline.

I don't fly often, but when I do I'll be sure to fly US Air.

Let me know if you'd like to be added to the Ann Coulter ping list.

[RonDog]

Please ADD ME to your Ann Coulter ping list!

Just a thought--isn't Minneapolis the airport where "observant Muslim" cab drivers were refusing to accept passengers who carry alcohol? Yet the imans will fly on airlines that serve it???? Answer--let the cabbies drive them to Arizona!

Onward Christian soldiers, followed by Victory in Jesus, my mother's favorite. I think that she used to play it for the kids at the community center in Camden, where she was a volunteer.

[Bonaparte]

"An important and scary detail."

So they like to travel light and keep their options open. So what? < / sarcasm >

[Bonaparte]

"Same reason they get Sh--tfaced drunk when they come to the US, and go to strip clubs."

So they have a drink or two for medicinal purposes and go to strip clubs to preach folks out of their wicked ways. What's wrong with that? < / sarcasm >

[Bonaparte]

"Allahboard"

Allah me, Why not take Allah me?

[CountryBumpkin]

Just offer all six of them one free flight the old-fashioned way...

[Rome2000]

The next thing you know, New York City cab drivers will be threatening to bathe.

As an ex NYC cab driver I resemble that remark!!!!!

[quesney]

I've been waiting for one gutsy major Western or European airline to announce an implicit and effective no-Muslim policy that would somehow avoid running afoul of anti-discrimination laws. I bet their sales and share price would soar.

By the way, US Airways stock price is up 6% in the past two days:
