[history]
INDIANAPOLIS -- A Saudi Arabian passenger who tried to get into the cockpit of an American Airlines flight from New York to Indianapolis didn't appear on any terror-related watch lists, authorities said.
Indianapolis airport police said another passenger grabbed the 20-year-old man's arm and directed him back to his seat on the flight before 10 p.m. Wednesday.
Police said the man claimed to be a student at the University of Indianapolis and seemed confused when a flight attendant asked him what he was doing. The university told 6News on Thursday that he is not and has never been a student at the school.
A police report indicated that the man flew from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, to Doha, Qatar, before arriving in the United States.

"The man was questioned by police after the plane landed but was not arrested. Authorities took a photocopy of the man's passport and a handwritten note in Arabic that officials said was written while on the plane."I'm speechless. I mean this is unfreaking believable.

He was just trying to use the lav but got mis-directed by all those English signs he could not read. Really! He’s a good boy from a good family who wouldn’t harm a fly. Really! It’s all just a mis-understanding.

So now they know if they act reaaalllyy stupid they get walked out with nothing but a copy of your grocery list and passport.
Hello?? 20 year old Saudi man trying to get into the cockpit, doesn’t that ring any bells with these people?
There must not have been any real men sitting in the front of that aircraft or he would have gotten off the plane with a dislocated shoulder after it got twisted above his ear.

Rumor has it he was escorted back to his seat, and told the person sitting next to him, we will have to allah akbar some other way. Rumor is it was his grandmother. (just kidding all)

The university told 6News on Thursday that he is not and has never been a student at the school. Sounds like a prime candidate for Gitmo. Maybe Holder and zer0 said to let my people go, so this prime candidate was let go?
