Graffiti on Southwest Airlines planes not Arabic, just tagging
2011-09-24
Special chemical paint appeared towards the back of several 737 aircraft
Southwest Airlines said it looked like 'Arabic' - but language experts disagree
Security experts believe markings are vandalism by a lone graffiti artist

#5  what is that special chemical paint, anyway?

I saw a story like that on Warehouse 13 just a couple of weeks ago....

#4  If gangstas can get in to tag the planes, then it should be no problem for anyone else to get in to do whatever to the planes. Plant bombs, cut hydraulic lines, contaminate fuel, etc. And what is that special chemical paint, anyway? Something that will make the aluminum skin peel off at 25,000'? Makes me feel all not warm & fuzzy about my wife getting on one of them next week to try to come home.

#3  "What do you make of it, Muldoon?"
"Well, Sarge, my Arabic's kinda rusty, but it looks like 'Allen's Snackbar'."

#1  Oh, goody. Most of which are gang markings. Out of the frying pan and into the fire.
