Incident On Flight Just Before Takeoff At Minneapolis - St. Paul Airport

We can all rest assured, we are much safer now that the Dems are in charge:


5 EYEWITNESS NEWS has learned that federal investigators and airport police are questioning six Middle Eastern men who had to be escorted off of a plane Monday afternoon at Minneapolis/St. Paul International.

U.S. Airway officials tell 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS Aviation Expert Bob McNaney that Monday while Flight 300 was preparing to take off from Minneapolis to Phoenix, a passenger passed a note to a flight attendant saying they noticed ‘suspicious behavior,’ among the men.

The men would not get off the plane when asked, 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS has learned, and had to be removed by police.


And, of course, yesterday, a guy was arrested at Detroit Metro Airport with a huge amount of cash, data about US nuclear power plants, and plans for a suitcase bomb:


Dinssa, an Ethiopian-born U.S. citizen who lists his address as Dallas, Texas, was arrested Tuesday at Detroit Metropolitan Airport after arriving from Kenya by way of Amsterdam.

He is charged with currency smuggling after telling Customs agents he was only carrying about $18,000 before a search of his luggage turned up nearly $80,000.

Though he faces no terrorism charges to date, Assistant U.S. Attorney Leonid Feller told Borman that evidence found in Dinssa’s luggage and inside his laptop computer makes him a potential threat to national security.

Agents found articles about nuclear plants, suitcase bombs and a hard-copy commemorative edition of the Dallas Morning News from Sept. 11, 2002 — the one-year anniversary of the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon, Feller said.

Agents also found a hand-written note saying: “This community is angry. Something is going to happen. We are going to see justice. This is a powder keg waiting to go off.”


Feeling safer now?

LGF's link says passengers alerted the crew.other news folks report it was the CREW who spotted the suspicious behavior and called the cops.i feel that this event is tactically related to the arrest you mentioned in detroit and another in the UK.of course, they're all connected strategically to global jihad.also: here in NYC there've been more and more PSA's on the radio each day about the MTA and PA and their security efforts and they even ask the oubic to be alert for packages etc.they're enlisting the puclic and covering their asses...something big is a foot... big and bad.


I say: It does look like there is something amiss, and this time the authorities are trying to get the word out. In the past, we heard about the elevated levels of "chatter" that led up to 9/11. Now, the "chatter" is being "televised."

Well, our friend, The Kid From Brooklyn, has the solution:

You mean its been HOURS and CAIR aint made a public statement of their OUTRAGE yet ?? They must be gettin slow..

CAIR's Statement:

We condemn this senseless act of airline apartheid. Such actions do not contribute to the atmohsphere of dialogue which is necessary for the establishment of peaceful relations between our communities. We can not guaranteee that this will not result in a rise of radicalism among our youths.

I read that the dog sniffed out the money. Anyone from the 80's knows that to travel with a load of $100's past a drug dog is dumb - allegedly, there are really NO $100 bills that don't have cocaine residue on them. Oh, well, yet another reason for muslims to hate doggies...

Obfuscation - while this fool was tying up the TSA people, who was slipping by at the same time? It's hard to think this guy was for real (except in his own mind), and not some sacrificial distraction away from the real thing. Then again, that's an expensive diversion (though what's $80k to an oil magnate?).

Brooklyn Kid has a great idea, f'in ayyy. People were saying arm the passengers, but with firearms you'll just tear up the fuselage. Bats, hey, whack away. What did the terrorist look like? Ground Chuck. One change - aluminum bats - you don't want the sonomabitch breaking on you in mid beatdown.

p.s.: I thought Ethiopians were Coptic Christians, that they had no muslims there. So add my being confused to being afraid for my country and paranoid of muslims.

According to Wikipedia, Ethiopia is one third Muslim:
