From the Aaaay-Peeee.

SAN FRANCISCO -- A ~~crazed~~ man ~~whose political and religious beliefs are completely irrelevant and so won't be mentioned~~ who pounded on the cockpit door as an American Airlines flight from Chicago approached San Francisco on Sunday evening has no clear or known ties to terrorism, police said on Monday.

And no one's going to say otherwise, even if the smart boys at FBI toss his life completely.

Authorities have not established a possible motive for why

None. They're clueless. No, really, the authorities are clueless.

Rageit Almurisi, 28, got up from his seat and went toward the cockpit door 10 minutes before the flight was supposed to land, San Francisco police Sgt. Michael Rodriguez said.

Maybe he was upset over paying $8 for a Bloody Mary?

But Rodriguez told the San Francisco Chronicle that Almurisi had no clear connection to terrorism.

Rodriguez wouldn't know, would he. The good sergeant likely has been conditioned by all the lefty politics in San-Fran to keep his mouth shut.

Almurisi, who had a Yemeni passport, was yelling ~~in Arabic~~ unintelligibly as he brushed past a flight attendant, Rodriguez said.

How do we know it was unintelligible? Perhaps it made perfect sense in Arabic.

A male flight attendant tackled him,

Good job. Hope you drove your knee into Almurisi's kidneys...

and other crew members and two passengers -- a retired Secret Service agent and a retired San Mateo police officer -- aided as he banged on the cockpit door, Rodriguez said.

"They were able to get him to ground and a flight attendant put him in plastic handcuffs," Rodriguez told The Associated Press.

After landing on him a few more times.

The Boeing 737 carrying 162 people landed safely at 9:10 p.m. and the man was taken into police custody.

Here's hoping they thumped him down the jetway...

The flight came from Chicago's O'Hare International Airport, the San Francisco Chronicle reported.

What was his stop before Chicago?

Though he carried a Yemeni passport, it wasn't clear if Almurisi's nationality was also Yemeni, Rodriguez said.

He could have been a Pakistaini...

During the scuffle, Almurisi sustained some bruises ~~in his kidneys~~ and was checked at a hospital before being transported to San Mateo County Jail, the officer said.

Let's hope he's peeing blood for a few days...

They never heard the phrase "Allan Snackbar"?

#2 This is just a misunderstanding. He was just excited because he thought he had found 72 virgins in San Francisco.

Well if that's the threshold to become concerned, then I'm worried. Most of the interdictions in the past two yrs in the USA were of those having no connection. Even so, having connection to al-Awalki didn't seem to matter.

#4 You mean TSA didn't profile him properly? Oh, he's potential Al Qaeda. Can't be racial profiling anyone that doesn't look like they were born in Kansas. Then they get the third degree from the TSA.

#5 A few more incidents like this & I suspect someone will apply several zip ties tightly around the neck of the perp to subdue him.

And attach a leash to each one and give each of his wives one of the handles.

#7 Sounds like they understood him *perfectly*.

#8 c'mon Al, get a grip. Not even a whacked-out jihadi would expect to find that many virgins in the City.

#9 You cannot discount a connection to terrorist organizations on the cuff. The average joe or joette is not buying that govt crap any more.

Yemeni passport ya say? Well that is better than a pakistani passport, where 90% are forgeries, heh.

It would be revealing to backtrack this guy's travel and entry into the States and see what if any checking was done concerning any background checks on him by Customs. Dollars to dinars there was nothing in the anglicized spelling of his name, so Customs and immigration just told him to have a nice day.

Real confidence builder, while US citizens are treated like criminals through TSA portals and their infamous orgasmatron machine.

#10 The TSA may have let this one crazed terrorist on board, but that six-year old girl a couple of weeks ago got a very thorough pat-down.

#11 See the TSA pat down an infant.

I hope (s)he had a fully loaded diaper.

#12 But Rodriguez told the San Francisco Chronicle that Almurisi had no clear connection to terrorism.

This statement is absurd!
There might be some doubt about his motive (likely islamofascism) or whether he's connected to any organization.

The terrorist act committed in front of multiple witnesses establishes a very clear and obvious connection to terrorism however.

The 9/11 war was called 'War on Terror' in order to avoid giving offense to Muslims. As a result of this PC nomenclature the meaning of 'Terror' has shifted. To the SF 'terrorism' is synonymous with islamofascism.

#13 An amusing bit was that, assisting in his takedown was a retired cop and a retired Secret Service agent.

Apparently, his bruising was significant enough so that they had him checked out in a hospital.

#14 "We were all looking at our lives flash before our eyes," passengers on the flight after Rageh Almurisi tried to overtake the cocpit screaming "allahu akbar."
