[quote] Several people were removed from Spirit Airlines flight NK969 after the plane was called back to the gate while taxiing off Tuesday morning, according to ABC7 reporter Suzanne Kennedy, who was on the flight. The flight was scheduled to leave from BWI to Chicago.

According to Kennedy, four passengers were initially removed from the flight, three males and one woman. They reportedly had several backpacks and appeared to be in their early 30's and of middle eastern descent.

Three additional passengers were subsequently called out from the loud speaker and removed from the plane.

[quote]The spokesman said the "suspicious activity" involved one of the male passengers viewing a news report on his smartphone. All four of the passengers were "very cooperative," according to the MTA spokesperson, and have been released.

We have become a nation of pants wetters. If you are of "middle eastern descent" (which I am on one side of my family), I suggest cancelling any planned flights for a while.

About six months before 9/11, I was on a cross -country flight where 4 Muslim men were acting suspiciously once in-flight. I told a flight attendant who had noticed it as well, and notified the pilot. I believe it was a practice flight. You know when something is not right [/quote]

It this case, the only thing not right was the pants-wetting passenger's suspicions. In your case, there has never been a Muslim man who didn't appear suspicious.

And yet? 6 months later we lost thousands to 12 Muslim men. Was the flight attendant a pants wetting passenger as well? They had spread themselves around the first class cabin, spoke across people in Arabic, kept standing up at odd times, and glared at those who turned to look at them. This is BEFORE 9/11 mind you.[/quote]

I am always amazed how you always have a friend, relative, or personal experience that applies to every single thing in the news. [b]I just going to say that I think you are making this entire thing up and that possibly the only true part of the story is that you were on a plane with an Arab-looking guy who you thought was suspicious just as you would any other Arab-looking guy. [/b]On today's flight, the passengers were removed, questioned, and let go. Clearly, everyone involved with their removal from the aircraft was wrong.

When you have to rely on supposition, that's all you have. Otherwise, please go back and pull out every statement I've made and tell me why and how I 'made it up'. Otherwise, shut it.

There is nothing wrong with what happened on today's flight - it's always best to check things out. That poor girl at the NC bus stop would not have been rescued had one person not called in what looked odd to him. I'm sure they had stopped in many rest stops prior.
