Security theater is gonna get stupid again....damned towelheads...

 

[samballs]

Why do they pick on UA? You would think with the way DL treats people and their ops in NY, terrorist would be gunning for DL

 

[brokedash]

Great going TSA...

 

[B6Busdriver]

Expect a new rule tomorrow! Bend over over flight crew!

 

[Hovernut]

Nothing like cruising along and getting a Center broadcast telling crews to be vigilant because a passenger tried lighting his shoes on fire! I hope judicious "passenger/crew justice" was liberally applied during the incident!! Let the crew do a little coffee pot waterboarding since our current administration will fall all over themselves to Marandize them.

Pin stripe ties. It's always the stripes.

They should have... Air Marshall on the flight reportedly handled the situation.

This guy is the Diplomat from Quatar.

Diplomatic immunity.

Diplomatic immunity might get you out of some traffic tickets but I doubt it really applies when you try and blow up an airliner in a terrorist attempt. At least it shouldn't....

I'm just saying

 

[FLYLOW22]

At least it shouldn't....

HAHAHA. But you and I know how the world works brother.

 

[Full of LUV]

CNN says he was lighting a cigarette....

HAHAHA. But you and I know how the world works brother.

CNN says he was lighting a cigarette..... silly arabs, don't they know that in American culture that the only thing lower than a two bit suicide bomber terrorist is a SMOKER!

 

[waveflyer]

Really?

Not a shoe bomb- just an idiot with a cig?
Or is that just what they're telling us

 

[Hair-on-Fire]

That's even worse! Send him to Gitmo!!!

I love it!

-Funny!!

 

[samballs]

As of this afternoon he was reassigned, he's already is in another country. Wnder if he flew on UA to get home

 

[captain822]

I'm sure passengers try to smoke in toilets every now the then. He made the news cause he's Arab.

 

[Dizel8]

I say give him the chair, doesn't he know smoking is bad for his health

 

[SpauldingSmails]

No, he made the news because he joked that he "was trying to ignite his shoe."

Where's the vigilante justice when you need it!? There's no diplomatic immunity from catching a coffee pot in the head from a deuce and a half FA.

 

[bravo]

He's lucky this was not a Southwest Flight. Remember the guy who tried to storm the cockpit door. I think they removed him from the airplane in a body bag. Blunt trama to the head. Arabs and diplomatic immunity. Only in the US can that ******************** happen.

Yeah, Ay-rabs in 'Murica are the only people with diplomatic immunity.

 

[b707guy]

All the frustrated smokers on board who were aching for a puff should have kicked his stripey-tied butt. If his diplomatic immunity absolves him of criminal activity, our own citizens should be just as immune for enforcing the law.

 

[Tejas-Jet]

...and now we find out he was on his way to visit an Al-Qeada guy in prison in Colorado.

 

[T B O N E]

Calm down....Everything was OK cause I heard Buckley AFB scrambled two F-16's to escort the flight. Tim Martins was lead and saved the day....

 

[ultrarunner]

Speaking of Tim, what's the latest. Still on 'paid leave'?

That's because arabs have a track record when it comes to airliners.............
