Yet another “Allahu Ackbar”-shouting terrorist wannabe was prevented from damaging a plane full of passengers coming in for final approach to San Francisco on Sunday night. But it wasn’t the TSA who prevented what could have been a tragedy. No, the TSA allowed Rageh Almurisi, carrying a Yemeni passport to board American Airlines flight #1561 from Chicago.
No, it was the flight crew and the passengers who subdued Mr. Almurisi after he began screaming and pounding on the door of the cockpit...
Or as our distinguished Secretary of Homeland Security likes to say, “The system worked.”
The time is rapidly approaching–if it hasn’t already passed– for us to start taking full responsibility for our own safety (wherever we are), because those we have hired to protect us surely aren’t doing their jobs. As the old saying goes, when seconds count, the police are only minutes away...
I don’t travel much by air these days. But now, when I do, I will be doing a constant threat assessment throughout any flight I’m on. And that includes scanning the passengers as we wait to board, and eavesdropping on conversations. I will be prepared to shout, distract, throw things, join an attack on a would-be terrorist, and in short, do whatever it takes to make sure any plane I’m on lands as safely as possible.
The long and short of it is this: We the People are the system now. We’d better work.

One of your neighbor's maybe?

Of course they were busy groping 6 year old white girls & old women in wheelchairs
The system worked~!
He was able to buy a ticket, get through TSA, board the plane, get to the cockpit door shouting religious idiocy but he was TACKELD BY FLIGHT ATTENDENTS AND PASSENGERS~!!!
Brilliant tactics, Homeland security~!
But I am guessing, if our strategery is to let them get on the planes and just be tackled by passengers maybe we could save $billions of dollars in airport security and stop molesting innocent people and just put one big bad guy with a gun in each plane?
Or just let the passengers tackle Muslims at the gate.
“Allahu Ackbar” does not mean God is great, it means the god of islam is great.
This goofs family is now saying he was just looking for the bathroom.(!?)
Now, I am a little confused. All this time I thought when they were yelling this “Allahu Ackbar!” stuff, that they were praising their god.
But now it appears that “Allahu Ackbar!” actually means “Oh, God, I gotta piss!”
So, does this mean that Islam is actually the Religion of Piss?
Maybe, in our multi-cultural world, we need to modify some of our common sayings to include our Muslim brothers. For instance, instead of saying, “I gotta see a man about a horse!”, you could say “I gotta go worship Allah!”
And instead of saying “I gotta take a dump!”, you could say “Time to go squeeze out a Prophet!”
Oh, no! Guns=BAD! Can’t have guns on planes (or anywhere else, for that matter.) TSA and JaNo are relying on our sense of self-preservation to tackle these nuts ourselves.
What, you think the TSA wants to do it? No way! They’re having too much fun with the pat-downs and x-rays. That’s plenty for them to manage.
No, we’re on our own.
Only profiling works.
Every time I see or hear that woman in a news clip my confidence in the Department of Homeland Security decreases and fear of major loss of life from domestic terrorist attacks increases. I can not help but wonder if the reason for her being appointed to that cabinet post was not strictly based on having to fill the "ugly" quota.

How can we say the system worked? He is still alive!
No they are from Pakistani but I wouldn't doubt they'd be friends.
