Of course not. That would be profiling.

no one is ever going to be unopposed in any attempt to take over a US flight. period. and not because of me, but rather all the frequent fliers who ‘get it.’

I agree.

I worry about a two-stage attack, with the first revealing those willing to act against a threat. Once the bad guys are subdued, the second group of attackers goes after the active passengers, who most likely will think the threat is gone.

The answer is...

Don’t let those filthy animals anywhere near US soil. No muzz, no fuss.

If there actually was a physical scuffle on an airliner, I think all Muslims on board would be held under close guard until the aircraft landed.

“Normal” enemas would try to blend in with the crowd BUT they know if they show up in a suit and tie or look like a ‘hick tourist’ they will undergo special scrutiny.

When they where their pajamas and covered faces, they are put to the front of the line.

Great system we have....PC has made it that we PUNISH those that should be ‘moved along’ and reward those that obviously should be under some sort of scrutiny.

In cases like this aren’t we PROFILING the ‘good guys’ and singling them out for ‘special treatment’?

I don’t trust any of them so I would seat all of them in one area and let them know that if they attempted to stand as a group the skull crushing would commence.

Actor James Wood reported he was on a flight on Aug 1, 2001 where he thought terrorists were preparing to hijack the plane — it was a practice run for 9-11. He reported it to the pilot, but since that flight wasn’t actually hijacked, nobody paid any attention, didn’t check up on the suspicious passengers.

Here is a partial transcript of Wood’s interview with O’Reilly, post 9-11 where he discusses it.

http://prisonplanet.com/transcript_actor_james_woods.html

“WOODS: Well, first I have to back up and tell you about the flight that I took. The flight I took was actually on August 1st. And I have not talked about this in the press until this day because there was a lot of misinformation that came out about it.

I was on a flight, without going into the details of what made me suspicious of these four men, although it would have been blatantly obvious to the most casual observer, I took it upon myself to go to the flight attendant and ask to speak to the pilot of the plane. The first officer came out. I reported to him that I felt that the four men, and I said, “Can you look over my shoulder and see who I’m talking about?” And he said, “Yeah.” I said I think they’re going to hijack this plane. I mean, everything they’re doing, and I explained to him these details, which I’ve been asked to keep private, until whatever jurisdiction, you know — whatever trials may take place, their behavior was such that I felt that they were going to hijack the plane.

I also said I’m very much aware of how serious it is to say on an American aircraft in flight the word hijack.”

Thx Salvation...I love your work on behalf of the Catholic Church (though Jesus needs no defense).

I don't know when it was that W lost his way...but he did.

He is too close to the Saudi royal family I think. And that is not in America's interest.

Collect your fellow passengers pocket change and put
them in a strong sock, makes a handy sap or bludgeon.
A pencil or pen makes an acceptable spike if put in
an assailiants nose or eye, and a belt can be used
as a garrot or as restraints.

A man with an active mind is never unarmed.

I know ‘someone’ who travels with the Home Depot equivalent of plasticuffs in his computer bag - the long white plastic ‘wire ties’ used to secure HVAC ductwork.

never know who might need to be restrained.

just sayin’

Memo warns of dry runs

"The TSA told us it takes all reports of suspicious activity aboard aircraft seriously, and the matter requires no further investigation at this time.

However, a current Federal Air Marshal who works flights every week says of the TSA, "They're liars. They're flat out liars...the TSA doesn't want the flying public to be aware of the problems with terrorist probes. "

Also consider the recent disruption at jacksonville intl airport. It seemed at the time like a probe. Has all but been dropped in most news. Zeljko Causevic

"WTF is wrong with you, noob?"

He had a lot of things wrong with him. Specifically, always defending queers and pushing a pro-abortion, pro-queer libertarian candidate for governor of Virginia. And now, I see, sticking up for Muslims.

As a Virginian who resented the hell out of him trying to push a leftist for governor of my state, I am tickled he's gone....and I can dance with joy because he's even noobier than I am. ;)

How do you propose identifying Muslims who were born here, who know our culture, who have no accent? Remember, Muslims are found among all races.

I think 9/11 happened because of employees of the airlines or ground crews, kitchen companies, TSA workers, concourse restaurant owners/ employees, janitors, plane cleaning crews, concourse businesses...who might be working for the terrorists....get all the info they need. They have access to more than you could imagine.

I’m a retired flight attendant since 2003. Never gave it a thought until 9/11/2001. I sat there, watched it unfold on TV, and said, “Damn...that was so easy for them!” Then I looked back to certain things that had happened over the years that might have been a factor in all of it.
