Another Terrorist Dry Run

December 2, 2009 / 10:56 am • By Dr. Melissa Clouthier

Remember the flight from Atlanta to Houston that got turned around because of the guy who wouldn’t get off the phone? That’s not what happened. From the website Nobody Asked Me via Pierre LeGrand:

I was in 1st class coming home. 11 Muslim men got on the plane in full attire. 2 sat in 1st class and the rest peppered themselves throughout the plane all the way to the back. As the plane taxied to the runway the stewardesses gave the safety spiel we are all so familiar with. At that time, one of the men got on his cell and called one of his companions in the back and proceeded to talk on the phone in Arabic very loudly and very aggressively. This took the 1st stewardess out of the picture for she repeatedly told the man that cell phones were not permitted at the time. He ignored her as if she was not there.

The 2nd man who answered the phone did the same and this took out the 2nd stewardess. In the back of the plane at this time, 2 younger Muslims, one in the back, isle, and one in front of him, window, began to show footage of a porno they had taped the night before, and were very loud about it. Now….they are only permitted to do this prior to Jihad. If a Muslim man goes into a strip club, he has to view the woman via mirror with his back to her. (don’t ask me….I don’t make the rules, but I’ve studied). The 3rd stewardess informed them that they were not to have electronic devices on at this time. To which one of the men said “shut up infidel dog!” She went to take the camcorder and he began to scream in her face in Arabic. At that exact moment, all 11 of them got up and started to walk the cabin. This is where I had had enough! I got up and started to the back where I heard a voice behind me from another Texan twice my size say “I got your back.” I grabbed the man who had been on the phone by the arm and said “you WILL go sit down or you Will be thrown from this plane!” As I “led” him around me to take his seat, the fellow Texan grabbed him by the back of his neck and his waist and headed out with him. I then grabbed the 2nd man and said, “You WILL do the same!” He protested but adrenaline was flowing now and he was going to go. As I escorted him forward the plane doors open and 3 TSA agents and 4 police officers entered. Me and my new Texan friend were told to cease and desist for they had this under control. I was happy to oblige actually. There was some commotion in the back, but within moments, all 11 were escorted off the plane. They then unloaded their luggage.

We talked about the occurrence and were in disbelief that it had happen, when suddenly, the door open again and on walked all 11!! Stone faced, eyes front and robotic (the only way I can describe it). The stewardess from the back had been in tears and when she saw this, she was having NONE of it! Being that I was up front, I heard and saw the whole ordeal. She told the TSA agent there was NO WAY she was staying on the plane with these men. The agent told her they had searched them and were going to go through their luggage with a fine tooth comb and that they were allowed to proceed to Houston. The captain and co-captain came out and told the agent “we and our crew will not fly this plane!” After a word or two, the entire crew, luggage in tow, left the plane. 5 minutes later, the cabin door opened again and a whole new crew walked on.

Again…..this is where I had had enough!!! I got up and asked “What the hell is going on!?!?” I was told to take my seat. They were sorry for the delay and I would be home shortly. I said “I’m getting off this plane”. The stewardess sternly told me that she could not allow me to get off. (now I’m mad!) I said “I am a grown man who bought this ticket, who’s time is mine with a family at home and I am going through that door, or I’m going through that door with you under my arm!! But I am going through that door!!” And I heard a voice behind me say “so am I”. Then everyone behind us started to get up and say the same. Within 2 minutes, I was walking off that plane where I was met with more agents who asked me to write a statement. I had 5 hours to kill at this point so why the hell not. Due to the amount of people who got off that flight, it was cancelled. I was supposed to be in Houston at 6pm. I got here at 12:30am.

Recall, this post from Michelle Malkin and her thoughts on Anne Jacobson about the James Woods incident where Mohammed Atta was in a “dry run” a month before 9/11.

This has happened before. It could happen again. Will a country so cowed by political correctness, like the Army was, be unwitting dupes in their own demise yet again? If people in the Army were afraid to call out a psychotic superior, will common citizens resist?

I don’t believe we can count on the “officials” here any more than we’ve ever been able to count on them. Americans must be self-reliant. They must stand up for common sense. They must resist the social pressure to ignore threats because it might offend someone to do so.

    holy frickin toledo!

    The lesson of 9-11 is to take personal responsibility for your own safety.

    TSA – what a joke! “We checked their bags”.

    Are you frickin kidding me? They “checked” the bags! Well that’s ok then!

    The best part is the Captain saying he’s not going to fly the plane. That should be enough, shouldn’t it?

    Oh no! Get another Captain and crew who probably don’t know what they’ve volunteered for.

    I salute this man, his Texan friend and every sane passenger who walked.

    How many more times, people? How many more?

  • Kent

    If it were impossible to leave the flight for some reason, I’d do very painful things to the nearest terrorist until one of us was permitted to leave. A jury and media circus would minimize my jail time, and the book deal would comp for lost wages. All better than the alternative for both myself and our nation.

    This.

    As Kris said,

    It’s all about personal responsibility. I don’t think I’d ever consider taking a flight or the train anymore.

    As to the answer for Kris’ end question, the answer is, a lot more. A lot, lot more. We obviously haven’t learned a thing from 9/11 and this numbnut of a president has actually positioned us to potentially lose this thing. Fantastic. Can we just do anything more bizarre at this point? When did acting like collective retards ever become the national pasttime?

  • befuddled

    it is exactly that, political correctness gone amok. when misbehavior of this ilk is done deliberately and no consequences are brought upon these individuals, than there is a problem.

    whatever ulterior motives these people have they know they will have a win. if these jihadists don’t win in court by some monetary settlement, they will win when our government fines the air carrier. American and US airways are fined in the millions for denying boarding for these types of incidents. imagine, the carriers that were targeted by terrorists are now being targeted by our own government for trying to keep the flying public safe. Which leads to second guessing all around and a win for terrorists who actually want to do harm or just add additional financial hardships upon an overburdened airway.

  • Greg

    Checked their bags?

    Isn’t that -er- PROFILING? I thought the TSA had very strict rules against checking bags only because the person is Arabic or acting ‘according to their culture’ (which for Islamic is to kill inifidels).

    I would question if they checked their bags at all….

  • Lorna Grow

    Give that story to Fox News. How many more dry runs have gone on?

    What’s laughable (makes me weep) is that it’s not about the damn bags.

    Most people can’t get on a flight if they are drunk or a bit mouthy. Watch “Airline”. There are rules and they are enforced – for most passengers, every day.

    Yet these asshats don’t do as the Captain and crew tell them and to top it off they insult them.

    umm, how long do you think I’d last on a flight where I told the Captain and crew to stick it? I don’t think my feet would touch the ground on the way to jail.

    Yet, these ding-dongs want me to fly with these maniacs?

    Unfrickinbelievable.

    Although not identical, many parts of this story appear in this Snopes article.

    11 Muslim men..
    Texan twice my size say, “I got your back”

    fake story is fake

  • DaveR

    samir – fake poster is fake

  • john

    don’t believe this random guy making up a story. if this was true, i would hope more people would speak out.. and if this type of thing ever happens to you, dont be a coward. post this online, matter of fact, announce to all people around you to do the same. there is always one person that comes out and shouts out a story, where are the other witnesses

  • Joe

    911 Was an INSIDE JOB!!!!!!!!!!!

    3 Highrises cannot collapse on their own footprint on the same day. A steel highrise has never collpased from fire.

    6 of the 911 Commission Members now claim that the investigation was a whitewash.

    Please wake up people. These are intelligence agency “dry runs”! These aren’t pissed off muslims that happened to sneak into the country to test out all of their plans beforehand.

    WAKE UP!!!!!!!!!

  • hoopy

    This incident does not surprise me one bit. The TSA is another government run organization worked by a bunch of hacks. Look at the history of all the other government run organizations. My posting is critical of the posting by Karl, referring people to snopes. Snopes is NOT reliable. It is run by a very biased husband and wife team of typists. They do not research all their quotes

  • DaveR

    john – see the first post. There’s a REASON this has to be brought up here. Same as you don’t hear a thing about ACORN on all the MSM’s. They don’t WANT to cover it.

  • Tom

    My wife works for the airlines as a gate agent for 20 some years. She read this and said that all the rules in dealing with this were thrown out the window. She deals with un-ruling passengers at least once a week.

    1. The pilot of that craft have the ultimate authority to remove a passenger.

    2. While the crew was being replaced, FAA rules don’t allow passengers to be on the plane without a curtain number of crew per type of aircraft is present while filled with passengers.

    3. After the brief with the 11 men, fight attendance and the two passengers, how did the authorities find a crew so fast to replace, a crew and pilot that knew that aircraft? Not impossible but odds are slim.

    4. If talking to the passenger on the plane can not relieve the issue with just a ‘single person’ and the pilot makes the decision to remove, he or she is escorted off the aircraft and is not allowed to return to that aircraft so as not to disrupt the schedule of the crew and passengers, then that disrupter is dealt with at the lobby and maybe allowed to continue his or hers travel on a different flight.

    5. Passengers have the right to remove themselves from the aircraft before the plane leaves the parking spot.

    This is not normal considering the behavior and number of un-ruling persons.

    I totally agree with you. This incident is entirely believable BUT extremely fishy. For God’s sake most muslims can’t get on a plane if their wearing arabic letters. Amazingly these guys seem to be protected as if by some magical hand of the higher ups, even despite bombastically outrageous behavior that seems designed to get them noticed and that would get most people thrown off immediately. These people seems like patsies, like they’re playing the role of terrorist in a way that is sure to get them noticed yet they receive help from key authorities. Interesting.

  • DaveR

    Tom and ga – that’s kind of the ENTIRE point. They were seeing what they could get away with!!

    You people really don’t get it. (and yes I worked with the TSA, this kind of crap happened all the time – they were so f-ing worried about “offending” someone SECURITY was put aside for “understanding”. And I worked in HOUSTON where that very same flight connected to – Hobby)

    Frisking and triple checking bags of 6 y/o long hair white, blond daughters and blue haired grandma’s and not checking people we SHOULD because it would be “profiling” by letting $hit like this happen. I don’t work with the TSA anymore specifically because of this (and that it turned out just like every other government job – a who you know boys club – if you didn’t know the right people, you NEVER would get promoted).

    There is a huge conspiracy theory that 19 arabs hijacked 4 planes on 9/11 but most know thats 1/2 the story

  • Grandpa Jim

    I think it was a dry run, with the bonus of a lawsuit for profiling not far down the road. I guess I’m still just a little twitchy, after nearly 3,000 people were murdered under very similar circumstances. Plus, DHS’s Napolitano finally acknowledged that islamist terrorists ARE training for jihad right here in America, so……. If calling for jihadi profiling makes me a bigot, so be it.

  • gsr

    And we continue to allow record high levels of immigration, particularly, muslim immigration.

    Would you say we are now so weak, timid and spineless that we won’t even stand up for our own nation, our culture (Western)?

    It’s the immigration, stupid!

  • THOR LEBLANC

    I NOTICED MANY PEOPLE REFER BACK TO SNOPES AS BEING THE TRUE GOSPEL OF THE INTERNET.. I TRUST THERE ARE SOME OUT THERE WHO HAVE ENOUGH MIND ABOUT THEM TO UNDERSTAND THAT SNOPES AND THE OTHER TRUTH ON THE INTERNET PEOPLE HAVE PLACED THEMSELVES IN THE “GOD” POSITION .. PEOPLE SEEM TO THINK THAT SNOPES IS ABSOLUTE TRUTH AND CANNOT BE REFUTED.. SNOPES TO ME IS HOOPLA.. AND I WOULD DRUTHER BELIEVE WHAT EVER IS FLOATING.. I DONT NEED SNOPES.. AND I DO NOT TRUST SNOPES.. TOO MANY INSTANCES WHERE THEY ARE FOUND OUT TO BE POLITICALLY CORRECT IN THE “LEFT” VENUE..
    NOW SHOOT AT ME.. I WEAR BODY ARMOR..

  • jayd

    Hey wait .. Snopes didn’t say the entire story wasn’t true. So before slamming Snopes at least go there and see the other story.
    Yeah, I have seen the negative opinions re. Snopes also, but I also have read the defense of them, and the defense seems logical and truthful. And I am no left winger. I don’t believe they are either. They might not be conservative as I tend to be, but that doesn’t make them wrong or playing god. I do believe they do serious research before publishing results.

  • Blair

    I agree with Kent as every true American male should. When Muslims behave like this, hurt them so they need medical attention. That will at least assure they don’t get back on the plane.
