No explosives found on Denver jet

[Stinky The Clown]

So reports our local CBS affiliate. Seems the Arab guy may well have simply been trying to sneak a smoke in the shitter.

1. Could he be guilty of FWM...

Flying While Muslim?

2. Really. Seems to be the "charge of the day" anymore.

It's almost like Bush is still in office.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

3. Nope. In this case he was FWS:

Flying While Stupid. If you smoke in the lav and then smart off to a federal air marshal, you'll be in trouble no matter who you are.

4. No explosives = good news.

I rec'd, but it got unrec(s). Incredible.

[Xenotime]

5. I rec'd for you.

10. I have loyal, persistent fans.

There are always unrecs on my threads.

12. Who were apparently pissed off

that there were no explosives and you had to go and say so. Because that is all that you said.
This place has some real nutz here, sometimes.

6. Man, I have got to fucking learn to pay no attention to this kind of shit

for the first 12 hours. I read somewhere else that the guy also made a "joke" about lighting his shoes. We are overrun with morons.

[tjwash]

8. Yeah, but what about the most important thing?

Did he disable the lavatory smoke detector?

9. And what is with the 2 fighter jet escorts anyway?

What could they do? Shoot down the plane if the guy blow a hole in it somewhere?

Our whole approach to airline security seems rather backward and reactionary.

[Stinky The Clown]

11. That always a hoot.

The fighters, I suppose, is to shoot the plane down in case it seems headed toward a tall building. Then they'd shoot it down.

13. YES

....as a matter of fact

14. Strip Him of his Diplomatic Priveees

.......and deport him.....sorry guys but this is 2010 and 9 years since 9/11. My living is made working in the airline industry and we as a country can not afford another 9/11 or like him we will all be in the shitter.....This is no laughing matter.


I have no tolerance for this.
