As Brian Kilmeade pointed out a few weeks ago when this first started, what do we do in NYC? The MTA encourages citizens to report "anything" suspicious when taking mass transit. The ad campaign has been in effect for quite some time now:




The vigilance of all New Yorkers has kept MTA buses, subways, and railroads safe.

The MTA thanks our passengers and reminds them to:

Be alert to unattended packages.
Be wary of suspicious behavior.
Take notice of people in bulky or inappropriate clothing. Report exposed wiring or other irregularities.
Report anyone tampering with surveillance cameras or entering unauthorized areas.
Learn the basics of safe train evacuation.

And remember, if you see something, say something. Alert a police officer, train or bus operator, station personnel or call 888-NYC-SAFE (888-692-7233).

When seated next to some of these characters, every passenger is advised to have on hand a large bag of pork rinds or pork scratchings, clearly labeled. If allowed, also a can or two of pork brains in milk gravy. Make sure you offer some to your seatmates. When they decline, say "I don't blame you. If I eat too many, they give me gas." Finish the whole bag, and burp if you can. Wipe your mouth on the sleeve closest to them, then play the "hog the armrest" game.

If you have a laptop, be sure to play some Porky Pig cartoons. Or use a picture of a pet pig for your desktop wallpaper. Or download Joe Cartoon's "Osama Sissy Fight" from someplace like http://www.reupload.com/uploads/osamabox.zip and play it in explorer. It's fun. Or get a good picture of the World Trade Center and just stare at it the entire flight.

The other day, I saw a cute little LED flashlight inside a little pink pig, and it grunted. That would be fun to play with to avoid boredom, or to entertain a child. If you are a sports fan, pick up a copy of "Pigskin: The Early Years of Pro Football". Buy a new pair of pigskin gloves, and try to stretch them in while aboard. If you get odd stares, tell 'em you're "just breaking in a new pair - real pigskin". How are you to know, or care?

If it's a meal flight, always order a Kosher meal, just in case. The when they see you have something different, tell 'em you "always order the Kosher stuff" because, nudge nudge, wink wink, "you never know if there's pork in the regular meals".

There are many ways to while away the time on a flight.

"some say"

HA!

The AP is pushing this slap suit story because they are COUNTING on it.

The MSM is rejoicing at the possibility of silencing people.


as far as the lawyer is concerned in this matter, Rule 11 sanctions should be personally applied.

In fact the airline as a sign of good customer relations should pay for the lawyers for the John Does.

Wow!
Sir, I just saw your tag-line, with sorrow I extend my condolences and prayers to you and your family. I say this with tears, may the Lord continue to comfort you on the loss of your dear precious son.

I would like to see Rule 11 sanctions imposed under the Federal Procedure rules.

Rule 11 sanctions go against the client AND THE LAWYER PERSONALLY. Thus if the client has no money, the John Does can collect 100% from the lawyer.

Don't sweat it; it happens. At least you covered yourself by saying you didn't have time to read it.

When I insert my foot, I usually don't get that excuse.

I just heard Sean Hannity say that he is going to have some of those passengers on his Sunday TV show...(I hope they know how dangerous that can be)

If these passangers really get sued and this goes to trial, you can bet enough American's will be so pissed off no middle eastern looking person will ever want to fly in a plane again as long as there would be American's aboard.

It's time to start seriously K'ing some A!!

You may be able to slightly subvert our judicial system scumbags, but you better not mess with real Americans!

Next time the passengers should just send these maggots on to meet allah.

Problem solved and no lawsuit.

New sign at airport should read.

"Warning, if you are an islamic a##hole and think it's funny doing things that you know will make people nervous, prepare to be taken off of your flight or out of the airport in a body bag"

Omar Shahin, spokesman for 6 imams removed from flight, doubted Muslims were behind 9/11 and admitted ties to Osama
Omar Shahin is one of the imams removed from a flight in Minneapolis. He was involved with Kind Hearts, which has been closed down for its connections to Hamas. He also acknowledged a connection to Osama bin Laden in the 1990s in a September 28, 2001 story in the Arizona Republic (thanks to Austin): "Arizona Was Home to bin Laden 'Sleeper Cell,'"

http://wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=53057

One of six Muslim imams pulled from a US Airways flight in Minneapolis last night by federal authorities is affiliated with a Hamas-linked organization and acknowledged a connection to Osama bin Laden in the 1990s.

Omar Shahin, who served as a spokesman for the clerics, is a representative of the Kind Hearts Organization, which had its assets frozen by the U.S. Treasury pending an investigation

http://www.jihadwatch.org/archives/014377.php

How about Omar Shahin, the imams' spokesman and also president of the North American Imams Federation? He is a native of Jordan, who says he became a U.S. citizen in 2003. From 2000 to 2003, Shahin served as president of Islamic Center of Tucson (ICT), that city's largest mosque.
The ICT is well known. The mosque has "an extensive history of terror links," according to terrorism expert Steven Emerson, who testified about terrorist financing before the Senate Banking Committee in July 2005.

The Washington Post described these links in a 2002 article. "Tucson was one of the first points of contact in the United States for the jihadist group that evolved into al Qaeda," the Post reported. And the ICT? It held "basically the first cell of al Qaeda in the United States; that is where it all started," said Rita Katz, a terrorism expert quoted by the Post.

Have not flown since 9/11, and don't intend to start until every one of these nutcases are sent back to Allah or their favorite place that is not in the U.S..

Thank you, Rawhide. Just another day in paradise here. I occasionally vent a little, as you can see. Mostly I try and keep a hand in and look for positive things I can do.

Semper Fidelis.

""These guys were up to no good," Snelson said. "

What the passengers did not realize was that the game from the beginning was to act suspicious, get thrown off the plane, raise hell and sue.

I certainly share that opinion.

Actually, I think we have been TOO accomodating already.

Suing passengers for the actions of the airline. That'll get squashed in the first court hearing.
