An odd video raises new questions about the USF students who caused a national security scare. Ahmed Mohamed and Yousef Megahed are already charged with driving explosives across state lines. Now prosecutors say Megahed's brother tried to send a sinister code through a jail-house camera.
I couldn’t see any of the video, but if it’s sign language, maybe some of wallcrawlr’s list can help.
Even so, it cound be just American letters for Arabic, or whatever Muslim country it is that is trying to destroy us.
Maybe some reference to verses from the Koran that are code for an attack?
What code? Like Megadeath’s flabby, slimy defense attorney, I only saw an innocent 24 year old making faces into a camera...
The media silence has been deafening.
Little Goose Creek is turning into one of the biggest stories that the media refuses to cover.
“It looked like a lot more than 4 letters anyway.”
It was. Prior to the break down they showed it appeared to be another 5 letters. Also it must be remembered that ASL is NOT the only sign language.
IIRC it is regional and even specific to groups. My question is why would mid eastern folks exclusively use ASL?
Oh, and don’t forget those who sign don’t usually do it letter by letter. They have phrases and short cuts for speed.
The eye brow movements could mean something as well as the tapping on the head.
They’re Muslims - they’re obviously innocent.
ASL would be just a start but you are right there is not telling which one they would be using. We aren’t even seeing all of the video.
Send them to Gitmo.
Yes but compare the hand movements before they broken out individual letters they showed. There seemed to be more than the 4 they showed slowed down.
Additionally, if it was ASL that is usually done with the right hand.
I've seen some kids that preferred the left hand. I spent some time at the Memphis Center but not enough to learn a lot.
2 snakes have crawled out of the nest. How many more are in the nest and when is it going to be cleaned out?
Well, he looks like he’s just being a smart-— and jerking security’s chains. The whole thing’a a big joke to him and I sure hope he’s not a citizen - he and his attitude should be deported 7000 miles away.

I wondered if it would get national coverage. Thanks for the ping.
