I just reread my post, what a horribly constructed sentence! Too much egg nog, I guess.

Not to worry, folks. The Air Police in the SF Bay Area are issuing tickets today to miscreants who ignored Big Brother’s dictum to NOT burn wood in your fireplace on Christmas day. Our Homeland Security detail is on the job, preventing us from sniffing wood smoke.

Wash Post is reporting the White House is saying this was an act of terrorism - YET Obama was not told about it until 3 hours AFTER the plane landed?

Didn’t Michael More have seizures over Bush waiting 6 minutes?!?!?!?!?!?!

A White House official said the incident was an attempted act of terrorism. The FBI is investigating and President Obama, celebrating Christmas in Hawaii, was told of the incident about three hours after the plane landed, officials said

Because, as I understand it, names can’t be screened until they are actually on the jet to the US, as nations will not cooperate with the US no-fly list. . and only will do so once the jet is airborne and en-route to the US.

Well, that sounds like a problem that needs looking into. If we can’t screen them until they’re airborne, there needs to be a way to kick them off the plane (preferably at 35,000 feet)...

Every flight should serve ham sandwiches.

Agree, and our closest “allies” are the ones protecting personal privacy of the passengers and will not cooperate. Only provide the names AFTER takeoff and en-route, to do otherwise would be to invade privacy and help the US WOT. . .and we can’t have all that profiling and such going on, now can we. We can’t deny boarding of a jet in another country, nope, can’t do that, so no check with our no-fly list.

Madness.

I had the same thing happen to a friend of mine. Took their apple jam, because it was just over three ounces.

And three passengers were injured. The nature of the other passengers’ injuries are not reported.

They probably injured their fists on the terrorist's skull.

I realize that you’d have to have been there to appreciate it, but I would think that this situation would be the perfect example of a “free swing” in terms of self-defense (and vicarious self-defense) and would be the ideal opportunity to simply kill the MF. Who could question one who, in that situation, never loosened their grip on his trachea?

Word is, that the perp had his device blow up and burn on his lap. Water was called for as he tried to remove his burning pants. After the fire was extinguished......

He got it, but good.

When the cops show up and start asking questions.....

The only thing you need to remember to say is.....

“I WAS IN FEAR FOR MY LIFE!”

You’re a dangerous Conservative and a Freeper. Muslims are friends of the US Congress and the occupant of our WH. That should answer your question. Sick and pathetic LOL.
