Terror Attack Stopped By Passengers On Detroit Flight

[tombogan03884]

Who the hell names this stuff? Is it like some geek macho thing to see if you can actually pronounce it? I get the utility of putting the compound in the title but sheesh.
FQ13

FQ, It's part of the security protocol, if you can't pronounce it you can't buy it

I for one Am not willing to give up any rights  in the name of "nanny state" style safety. I understand that certin things pose risk and am willing to accept that risk for my freedoms. I understand that 1 in a million flights are subject to attempts at terrorism and accept te risk when I chose to fly. instead of giving 18 and 19 year old kids the job of bottlenecking me at a checkpoint and "looking for suspects without profileing anybody" let the people with cwp carry guns on flights and see how fast a hijacker ends up dead and the plane lands just fine. I accept the risk eveytime I  get in a car and drive, every time I pick up a gun, evey time I put my boat in water and head to the middle of a river or lake, and every time I put a leg over my motorcycle and head out. I don't need a bunch of my freedoms revoked to protect me then and I don't need more freedom revoked to fly tolas vegas or to arizona either.

Amen!!

What's unforgivable is that they were warned by his dad and let it happen. Couldn't an Air Marshall just happen to be in the seat next to him for the flight? TSA are control freaks, not security. they have failed every test. They cause delays.
 Who did it, a passenger. When it comes down to taking care of the problem the average Joe is Johnny on the Spot.
 I hope it wasn't just a laptop battery blowing up. Here come the 40 mega watt X-ray scanners. Take off shoes and garments please. From this point everyone will be nude for safety purposes, TSA  Blankets are 20.00 extra. We know you have it because we checked your measly bank account for you. If you question this crap we will beat you up.

Uh, guys, there was another "non-incident" today on the same Delta/NWA flight # from Holland to Detroit with yet another Nigerian who locked himself in the bathroom of the plane. Allegedly just a "sick" passenger who became belligerent on landing approach.

DHS tells us to pay no attention to that man behind the curtain.

FTA: "An FBI spokeswoman in Detroit said Sunday's incident turned out to be nothing serious.

"Today (Sunday) at Detroit Metro Airport, the Joint Terrorism Task Force (JTTF) responded to a report from an incoming flight from Amsterdam where a passenger spent a lengthy time in the restroom. This raised concerns so an alert was raised. JTTF investigated and the investigation shows that this was a non-serious incident and all is clear at this point," the FBI spokeswoman told Fox News.

A law enforcement official said the man removed from a Sunday flight to Detroit posed no security risk to the plane."
