An Air Marshal's View of Flight 327
For much of the past month a fight has been raging in news reports and over the Internet about the behavior of 14 male Middle Eastern passengers on Northwest Airlines Flight 327 from Detroit to Los Angeles. Were the men terrorists casing the plane for a possible attack, as freelance journalist Annie Jacobsen suspected in a long article about the incident? Or were they, as the men said and federal investigators later concluded, a Syrian band on their way to a gig? (www.time.com) 기타...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Sure, the article old..
some of the racist and ignorant sentiments in this post are nothing new, however.

What the hell! 2004?? Are you kidding me! It must be a really slow news day....or someone is really really bored. Come on!!
Yawn.
contagious Yawn.
It is most definitely TIMELY. Hope we never forget for a moment what happened after the two men were allowed to pass thru the check point in Portland Maine on 9/11. Not the attendants fault; we were not trained nor experienced in this sickness (excuse) of religious insanity. Racial profiling is a GOOD fact of life. (Hopefully I don’t offend too many teenagers here but I bought an old beat up car. When driving my late model truck, I am never pulled over, or checked out. When I drive the old one, I have been, my wife also (she is foreign but became citizen) pulled over in it until the local authorities in my area, (especially weekends), became familiar with the old guy driving what looks like something a teen might party in. (Just a fact) RP and all manner of profiling happens daily, go to a bank dressed like a hobo see how long you spend with a loan officer. I am grateful for COMMON SENSE PEOPLE.
crk1…. Says “It's a pretty shitty world we live in when 14 Middle Eastern men can't take an innocent airline flight” I say GROW UP! Using that mentality I have to ask what crk1.. Stands for, perhaps CRACK? Hey these folks are successfully making air traffic safe.
I want to be sure they were not making a practice run. IF anything, we are too wimpy when it comes to this stuff. I hope they keep it up. I can live with a respectful environment and no nail clippers for a few hours; Unchecked, history repeats itself.

I think that since 9/11 people in the main have decided that PC can take a backseat to personal and group safety when flying and have decided that just maybe it's better to ask for forgiveness rather than permission when deciding to act. Hesitation could prove deadly. It is 9/11, guys like these two and the actions of the 14 ME men recently that cause the "sensitivty" to those of ME appearance, a reaction that could be expected regardless of ethnicity.
