The FAA is investigating an incident aboard an AirTran flight from Atlanta to Houston that touched off a firestorm of e-mails.
AirTran Flight 297 was delayed on November 17 after a passenger refused to turn off his cell phone.
*snip*
According to the e-mail, Petruna and other passengers believed they witnessed a dry run for a terrorist attack. Petruna said he couldn’t talk on camera, but Chaplain Keith Robinson, who was also on the flight, did talk with us.

“Flight attendants were sobbing openly,” Robinson said. Robinson said a passenger getting off the plane warned him not to get on.
“He said ‘I just saw them there were these Middle Eastern men. They were taking pictures. They wouldn’t sit down, ‘” Robinson said. “Besides that, he said a couple of them were making gestures with their hand as if they were shooting people.”
Petruna’s e-mail said there were 11 Muslims on the plane and two of them ignored flight attendants orders to turn off their cell phones. He said they shouted at the flight attendants and he and another Texan had to intervene.
Petruna said the 11 men were taken off the plane, but then allowed back on, angering the crew and some passengers.

They are a long way from voting to pass this bill IMHO.
If they pass it, millions of us will refuse to be made to purchae government health care. Hell,I will get my care out of the country, and joiin the many consortiums of US citizens who will do the same.Under no circumstances will i succumb to them.
I will emmigrate before I give in.
Screw them. At this point of the Republican Senators do not fight it tooth and nail for the cause of Liberty, I can fend for myself, and will along with millions of others.So I am not antsey. I have a plan.
INDEED.
. . . Sigh.
ACCORDING TO . . . drum roll . . .
THEM.
I’m much more inclined to believe the other sources.
My biases and instincts go with the individuals reporting such . . .
NOT with any of the organizations.
I hope I am not getting off topic but I hope we all see now that our country is under attack both from within and from without.
If we survive, it will be because of our brave soldiers and those who stand up oppose and openly fight and refuse to be bullied by terrorists, socialists, statists and those who would collapse our way of life.
It begins here.
We shout from the hills that we are pissed and will not take it anymore and it filters down the line.
You are on FReepublic now. all you have to do is document what you say and we are with you.
Once we are with you the rest really does not matter. We take the lead.
If he missed the flight how did he know it came back to the gate and the original crew was replaced? Since this wasn't reported anywhere until after his e-mail went out how did he know that?
They had to get another crew to fly it, and then the people started getting off the plane even as the flight attendent tried to bully the passangers to sit down.
Enough people got off the flight for them to cancel the flight.
Yeah and the nasty things tend to be ordered by Obama but activiated by someone else so he does not take the heat.
(ie Holder allowing terrorist to be tried in the US civilian court.)
Maybe somebody could track the flights from the ME,,,
Yet nothing in the MSM,,,
Moozzi could be FOO~FOOing the system to learn weaknesses,,,
11 could rush the cockpit door ,,,
I'll go with the gut feeling of the crew...BAAAD!...
Muzzies are a lot like dems in that they look for weak spots and exploit them. Anywhere they can get an advantage and some PR they will do it in a hearbeat.
Exactly, neither snopes or wikipedia are bias free. First hand info is bias free, little else.
I have read several threads on this story, and have not commented on any of them because I don’t know if this story is true or not.
Air Tran denies it, as was posted on one earlier thread today, but several other people are SAID to confirm it, according to Debbie Schussel and others.
This really could go either way, IMHO. We have repeatedly seen the FBI and others cover up incidents of Muslim terrorism. Repeatedly. So that is certainly one possible explanation. And the media have generally been only too happy to help them cover up.
Another possible explanation is that this is a hoax. If so, why aren’t the media on that?
I’m still not sure which it is. In this sort of case I usually suspend judgment, which is why I didn’t respond to any of the earlier posts.
But how long can you suspend judgment on somethingn as serious as this? Is it a hoax or a coverup?
Whether it is or not, I’m sick and tired of having the authorities and the press cover up incident after incident of Muslim terrorism in this country. This is our national security that’s at stake. This is the lives of our families, friends, and fellow citizens that’s at stake. You can’t protect people by endlessly covering up these threats.
Why?
What's the source for this "fact"?
This is absolutely only one of many episodes of the overall attack on the country.
This is one little isolated incident that happened to be reported. How many other terror/traitorous events happen and we never hear about? probably countless.
Our only hope is once again at the ballot box. Getting rid of these traitors and getting good folks in office once again is the only hope for the nation.
We have traitors in charge of containing terrorists. That can only end badly.
Not even nearly.
