Author of 'Dry-Run' hijacking story replies to media attention:
Last Tuesday morning, WomensWallStreet.com (WWS) published my first-person account of a recent Northwest Airlines flight that I took from Detroit to Los Angeles called "Terror in the Skies, Again?" A heads up about this article went out in our Daily Cents email -- our subscriber newsletter which primarily features financial tips and information for women.

On Wednesday morning, the WWS page views were unusually high, something like 10 times the normal amount. Apparently our readers had been emailing the article to their friends, family and colleagues and everyone was reading it.

By Thursday morning, that number had again multiplied ten-fold. It felt like the shampoo commercial from my youth: they told two friends, then they told two friends, then they told two friends. We sat in the WWS offices reading through your emails, taking stock of what you had to say. As the afternoon went on, the number of people reading the article continued to increase and the telephone was ringing off the hook.

And then a powerful thing happened. The mainstream media started calling.

1. I think this idiot needs a Xanax
Remember when they shut down the freeway in Fla because some idiot thought he heard 3 Arabic-looking men say the word "bomb" in a Dennys? She just called those guys "terrorists" on Aaron Brown, damn I wish I was a lawyer, I'd have those guys on tv and so sue her dumb ass back to Detroit.

2. What a twit
Since a Syrian was arrested in a terrorism investigation, all Syrians are terrorists?
