At 5:00pm Pacific Time, Ethiopian Flight 702, a Boeing 767-300 was flying over Sudan when it started squawking 7500. The transponder code, is supposed to indicate a “hijacking.”
(snip)
The flight, operating from Addis Abba to Rome has been confirmed by Rome Airport not to have arrived yet. As of now, it is over France, but has recently taken a steep northeast heading.
Based on flight tracking, it appears the plane is headed to Geneva. Emergency crews are standing by.

Yep. It satisfies most of the requirements for bad legislation.
It doesn’t address the problem
It moves or expands the problem elsewhere
It restricts the freedoms of honest citizens
It criminalizes normal activity
It provides loopholes for the actual criminals
It creates, expands or further empowers bureaucracy
It gives congress the warm fuzzy feeeeeeeling that they are doing something

how life would have been different today if that had been true.
It is very odd, since he was heading for Rome anyway.
Once in Rome, he could go wherever he wanted in the EU with a valid passport.
Could have taken a train to Geneva.
Could simply have requested asylum in Rome.
Yes. I also wonder how different it would be if Flt 93 did take out that nest of vipers in the Capitol building.
No Pelosi. No Reid. No Boxer. No Jackson-Lee. No ____.
And the remnant awake and filled with a terrible resolve.
“It is very odd, since he was heading for Rome anyway.”
Exactly — I think he must have suffered a nervous breakdown and/or literally lost his mind, over some pressures.
The Egyptians entered a state of denial about that case. They accused the US of secretly recovering the FDR, reprogramming it, and throwing it back to be publicly recovered.
Now now. We all know that far greater resources were allocated to move our betters to safety during the attack than to actually prevent the attack beforehand.
I totally agree .. it was the families of those in the air who blew the whistle.
I couldn’t see any problem with it, but I had heard they were trying to stop it for some irrational reason (it was quite a while ago that I heard the rumblings).
The Swiss aren’t in EU. Their asylum laws are different and for some reason he preferred them.
Switzerland just had a referendum about immigrants...
Freepers knew that, but did the perp? He may have been acting on outdated beliefs.
He must had suffered horribly with dial-up internet

Right, it’s the Schengen Area, actually. I get the two mixed up.

I miss those border posts...”Vous etes Americaine, monsieur? Your papairs, s’il vous plait!” Now, crossing borders has about all the quaint charm of going from Texas to Oklahoma! ;)
