Dearborn Underground has learned that last January’s disruptive behavior by five Saudi males on Northwest Flight 243 from Amsterdam to Detroit (“Unruly Saudis Disrupt Plane Before Being Released Without Charges By U.S. Customs”) included sitting in scattered locations around the cabin, refusing flight attendant requests to sit down, suspiciously frequent trips to the lavatory, and putting blankets over their heads – the same way Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab hid under a blanket to arm his bomb on the very same flight from Amsterdam hardly more than two weeks before. One of the Saudis unbuckled himself after the cabin and passengers were secured and only three minutes remained before wheels down, stood up, and charged the lavatory – before rushing back to his seat -- all for no apparent reason. The flight’s Captain was so concerned he overruled air marshals’ wishes and requested emergency assistance on the ground: there was a serious disagreement between the air marshals on board and Flight 243’s Captain about whether or not the Saudis were a “credible threat.”
We also know that within the last few minutes before Flight 243 landed at Metro, (and about an hour and a half before all five were released scot free), F-16s were being scrambled in Toledo.
We’ve now got some information we didn’t have then, thanks to a helpful friend who passed along to DU documents he obtained through the Freedom of Information Act. This story vanished from the news last January within hours of the event, leaving too many questions unanswered. These documents answer some of them. They also raise many more.

I’m quite sure if i was on a flight with that sort of thing going on i would be the one arrested upon landing because there’s no way i don’t get in their faces.
“Taze me, bro”
What ever happened to equal justice under the law. Why is the left ALWAYS above the law? Look at just the liberals in power who did not pay taxes like Geitner. Any ordinary citizen would be in jail for what he did. It seems if you want to be a democrat politician you must prove it by showing how corrupt you are. Evil begets evil. When is someone going to challenge those who get away with breaking the law?
Just remember gentle fellow travelers, that pencils and Bic pens among many other common things are lethal weapons if the need arises.
