#1 This is becoming ever more increasingly common. Just count the incidents alone in the past three months.

I believe it to be a little more than just funky moslems acting goofy on the planes every week.

News dispatches may be used as intel.
You soften up the authority with frivolous junk until it is weakened enough to allow something really big in.

At the same time, you communicate using flight numbers, locations, airline identification and so forth.

Maybe algorithm stuff.

#2 I'd like to be as reasonable, open-minded, tolerant and fair as anyone else.

But if this nonsense continues, I have a simple solution: no Saoodis on any US airplane. You want to fly from Amsterdam to Detroit, fly Royal Saoodi Air, because Northwest doesn't have a seat for you.

And if His Decrepititude doesn't like it and turns off the oil, we'll survive. He won't.

#3 I say let them ride. Find out who they are and start finding out who these people are networking with.

#4 Its nice to be tolerant , but alas that time passed many moons ago ..

Steam roll them , flatten them , throw them off and throw them in isolated holding cells for 24 hours . Let them experience a mini Gitmo . Repeat offenders x 2 lock up for 10 years in the desert .

SO19 employed the correct tactics the other week , but it was against drunken louts of non muslim background

#5 It isn't just international flights to be worried about. I've had several domestic flights of concern (Houston, Dallas, Chicago, NY) with Muslims I've kept an eye on just in case. You can check-in and board in a small regional airport without scanners, pass through a major hub and deplane without ever catching the connecting flight, while the checked bag continues or something is left behind in a bathroom. We had a major Newark delay and they put lunches onboard last minute while we waited on the tarmac and apologized. Airport employees are of concern, also. I say body scan all passengers and any refusals get full pat-downs with body cavity searches. The newest scanners are very quick and would include any sensors to check shoes for explosives. After all this, I still think these antics are to divert attention and resources while something else big is in the works. Something big is coming, tho....I can feel it in my gut.

Didn't work quite so well for the FBI with the MAJ Hasan project Gorb.

#8 One of the unfortunate consequences of improved technology is that it's no longer possible to turn Austrailia into an unbreachable prison colony.

#9 In the soon to be written post-mortem, I suspect the Australian experiment in prison systems will be seen as one the Empire's few success stories. Proving simply that the inmates actually can quite run the institution. Three cheers and a hat tip to the Convicts!

#10 But the TSA says the passengers were released and no arrests were made.

Yeah, and I bet they got on the next plane with nothing said at all.

#11 AlanC, It would be a nasty thing to do to the 300 residents, but other than that, Tristan da Cunha might make a good penal colony.

#12 Glenmore, St. Helena would do also but it's still too easy for the evil ones to get a boat that would make the trip.

200 years ago it took a whole lot more effort.

#15 Might I suggest Heard Islands & McDonald Islands, in the Southern Ocean. Not far from Antarctica, with weather to match. An uninhabited, hard to reach and thoroughly dreadful place. Did I mention it is COLD there.

Now that you mention it, it would be kinda stoopid, wouldn't it. Well, make sure they go on the "No Fly Unless Body Cavity Search" list then.
