The comment from “alfalfa” is a perfect example of the psychopathy that infects the anti-war left. I urge anyone in doubt of this conclusion to read the exec summary of the report in question and decide for yourself who here is ‘frothing’ with paranoia. Here’s a snippet from that summary:
“Thirteen Middle Eastern men, traveling together as a musical group, 12 carrying Syrian passports and one, a lawful permanent resident of the U.S., of Lebanese descent, purchased one-way tickets
from Detroit to Los Angeles. Six of the men arrived at the gate together after boarding began, then split up and acted as if they were not acquainted. According to air marshals, the men also appeared sweaty and nervous. An air marshal
assigned to Flight 327 observed their behavior and characterized it as “unusual,” but made no further reports at the time.
During the flight, the men again acted suspiciously. Several of the men changed seats, congregated in the aisles, and arose when the fasten seat belt sign was
turned on; one passenger moved quickly up the aisle toward the cockpit and, at the last moment, entered the first class lavatory. The passenger remained in the
lavatory for about 20 minutes. Several of the men spent excessive time in the Handling of Suspicious Passengers Aboard Northwest Flight 327 lavatories. Another man carried a large McDonald’s restaurant bag into a lavatory and made a thumbs-up signal to another man upon returning to his seat.
Flight attendants notified the air marshals on board of the suspicious activities. In response, an air marshal directed a flight attendant to instruct the cockpit to radio ahead for law- enforcement officials to meet the flight upon arrival.
After arriving, Flight 327 was met by Federal and local law enforcement officials, who gathered all 13 suspicious passengers, interviewing two of them. An air
marshal photocopied the passengers’ passports and visas. The names of the suspicious passengers were run through Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) databases, indicating the musical group’s promoter (promoter) had been involved in a similar incident in January 2004. No other derogatory information was received, and all 13 of the men were released. Weeks after the flight landed in
Los Angeles, following press reports of the suspicious incident, both the FBI and Federal Air Marshal Service (FAMS) independently opened investigations into the activities that occurred on Flight 327.”
As for any of alfalfa’s fellow-travelers: you need to take a good hard look at yourselves and try to figure out where this toxic attitude of yours comes from and what you need to do to overcome it.
