Here’s a question some people asked us after we noted the November 17th Air Tran Flight 297 incident, where 11 Muslims in traditional martyr dress disrupted a flight during takeoff, terrifying the passengers on board with all the behavior of a hijacking.  

Would you get off a flight, or refuse to board a flight, if Muslims were on board doing this?

We can answer this from experience, because two of us have actually done this.  

Once we were waiting in the boarding area and five Muslim men were there, dressed in the white pajama outfits, talking in Arabic and acting “strange”.  It’s so hard to articulate what strange is, but it didn’t fit the behavior of everyone around them.  Something wasn’t right about those guys, so we went up to the ticket counter and asked the gate agent to bump us to the next flight to Chicago (from LaGuardia).  We told her why, she looked over the men, and didn’t give us a hard time at all. 

Another time, it was an outgoing Chicago flight from O’Hare to Atlanta, and something similar happened.  As the plane was boarding, there were about a half dozen really creepy looking Muslim guys that just appeared out of nowhere to board the plane.  We didn’t see them in the boarding area, so it was like they had been hiding in the bathroom until the last possible moment to get on.  Once again, they weren’t shouting Allah Akbar! or anything, but something didn’t seem right about those guys, and at that moment our stomach turned and twisted and as we were in line to board the plane we suddenly had to go to the bathroom — BAD — so we took that as a sign and went in there and missed the flight.  After we waited long enough for the plane to depart, we went to the ticket counter, told the agent what happened, and got on the next flight.  No penalties or an¥thing.  

We think it’s important to ALWAYS trust your instincts. 

It reminds us of the actor James Woods on 9/11.  He went on the Tonight Show and Larry King and talked about how his father lives in Boston and is sick, so Woods has been flying back and forth between LA and home for a while.  He actually flew the same flights as the Muslims who planned 9/11.  Woods said he saw those guys on several flights, making test runs.  They acted suspiciously, and he told the flight crews and the airlines about them. He told the authorities.  But, nobody did anything — we bet because the PC police have tied so many hands in terms of “profiling” Muslims.  Everyone was so afraid of lawsuits that the Muslims got away with 9/11 when they could have been stopped. 

Woods — if we remember this correctly – eventually switched flights or airlines to avoid those guys.  

We would have done the same, and have done the same in similiar situations. 

What about you?
