My mother and sister were NASA contractors during a stint in 2003-04 and the many flights they used to have to take to D.C., Huntville, Alabama and some of the iother centers around the country in support of Station development, were exciting...
One in particular was a group of middle easterners (yes, they profiled them) were up and about the cabin at various times “muttering” prayer type utterances, and a few “Alluha Ackbars” as they walked around the cabin...
It was reported by many of the passengers on those flights, and when any followups were done, very few BTW, and any question they had at the time, were dressed down as national security issues, and were not told anything more...
The setup is in, and the failure of the folks we put in charge of protecting our skies, are in nothing more than a mop up mode when any future attacks occur...What else can, or would they do???
Good thing they (Mom and Sister) do not have to do that type of support anymore...
like drugs.......
