An Iranian national later indicted on federal charges raised suspicion at a Baltimore County airport by asking where keys to airplanes were stored, authorities said.

Profiling, kids - profiling. If we followed through, we'd catch so many more of these gomers.

And political correctness be damned. I'd rather be alive than dead.

...An airport worker who encountered Mr. Noormohammadi inside a hangar said he was wearing a winter hat with earmuffs, despite the warm weather....

Um...in July??? What a goober.

He has been in the United States illegally since 1986, records show, after he failed to appear at a deportation hearing. He had come to the country on a student visa and later sought asylum, which was refused.

We need to follow the Australian model----there, this scum bucket would have been thrown in a detention camp immediately until he was physically deported.

Uhmmmmmm...Airplanes don't need keys! I hate to tell you folks that! Little Cesna's and Piper's do have ignition keys, but I started up a 737 APU not too long ago, A Citation, and a Lear 25. The only key that exists is for the doors, and they are never locked and can easily be opened with a mechanics key. I have a porch storm door key that has never failed to open a business jet or fit the ignition of a small plane.

I agree -- only problem is that the second we try to open up a detention camp ("or could we call it 'guest quarters?'"), the racial warlords will be out in force, demanding that we release anyone there -- illegal or not [sigh].

Uh-oh, the Police State is here. This guy was turned in by peeping tom workers. The TIPS program, there out to get me. AAAARRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH! It's all over, sob.
