The TSA said the three men had been acting strangely on the plane, but gave no specifics beyond saying the three locked themselves in a bathroom.
============================================== Hmmmm... |

No mention of hoofed mammals in the bathroom with them ... why else would these three men get together in a small aircraft bathroom?

Dave,
From the article, THREE of them were in ONE can. Based on personal experience with the size of the can on most jets, this I find interesting to begin with. And yes, on Sept 11, having 3 Arab men enter and lock themselves into a can on a jet, well, all I can say is I would be concerned. Call it profiling if you want. |

Another great job by the Memphis news outlet's. This is the first I've heard of it. Guess nobody want's to say anything against Northwest [about the only airline into Memphis]. [smoke]

They took off from here in Memphis. I have heard from LE friends that the bridge here over the Mississippi River is being guarded as it is a possible target. That bridge is about 2 blocks from my office. I will be the first to let you know if it isn't there anymore!
Don't know what airlines, but it was a A320 aerobus plane |

Step 1: Locate suspicious passenger
Step 2: Open door to aircraft Step 3: Remove suspicious passenger Step 4" "Suspicious passenger?? What suspicious passenger?" No wasted time or taxpayer money. |

And even on the off hand that these three did nothing-if you were an arab would you pick today as your day to travel with three arab buddies? I think I would have put off that trip to vegas for a day or two...

The local reporter on the scene is saying,"The men in question" - were speaking in a middle eastern language very loudly,One then walked to the can with a small shaving bag........
IMHO The Capt. of the jet did the right thing. Set the plane down find out what's up. |

I'm sure there is going to be hell to pay for this one from the A.C.L.U..[bounce] 3 Arab guys get together in a 2 x 2 can on a plane! Maybe the heat and passion generated from their staring into each others eyes got the best of them.[:X] Why would this look suspicious in these days and times? Geeees for crying out loud![rolleyes]

On second thought, they're probably just some whacky funny type guys having a little fun...
Maybe it was an unannounced inspection by the ACLU! |

although they [b]say[/b]it wasn't a terrorist event....
The local media reported that the rags were in the bathroom shaving their body hair. IIRC don't they do this so they can slip into the afterlife? |

Why would they be shearing themselves on a plane period? |

IIRC don't they do this so they can slip into the afterlife? I believe so...I was watching a program last night on what Mohammad Atta did in his last days, and one of the last things he did was to shave all the hair from his body. |

So the question is, if this was really an aborted hijack, will they sweep it under the rug like FLT 587?
hmmmm? |

Thank God the passengers stood up and dealt with it. You never know what could have happened, but look at the 9/11 flight in PA. Maybe innocent, probably not, but atleast someone was on the ball. |
