As usual, Ann's regular readers make incredible points about the situation. I submit that you can not find a better example of a probe of our current airline practices (especially in flight). It occured to me when I heard the story initially, and is solidified to me as Ann describes details that the media (of course...) didn't talk about. Those scumbags were probing us for another attack, but that's just my gut-feeling. Islam is more dangerous than the Nazis, mostly because there are so many, but also because of the religious fanaticism. There is no reasoning with them or treating with them. They have been killing and/or trying to kill non-Muslims ever since that child-molesting hate-monger Mohammed walked that big cat-box over there. As stevecanuck so adriotly points out and backs up...Islam has not given anything to the world, it has only taken away. Islam's sole purpose is to destroy non-Muslims...and that means all of us. I'll tell you one thing...I'm a much better shot than all those piece of cr*p terrorists and fanatics...
