If terrorists were dumb enough to learn how to fly a plane while still on the plane they're going to hijack.. they don't deserve to be terrorists.

Someone bail me out the next time I am on a commercial flight.  ;)

Do you look of middle-eastern descent? If not, then you're fine.

Can't say I know that I would've acted any differently, doesn't make it right though.

[TacitBlue]

That's insane! I say we make a stand. I'm sure most of us have some kind of technical aviation book, if not a library full. We should all make it a point to read them on commercial flights. Maybe if they "detain and question" enough people they will figure out that this isn't something that terrorists do.

LMAO thats just funny in a horrible way.  To think the government would arrest someone for reading an Aviation Manual on a plane.  Whats next?  Are we gonna get arrested for reading our car manuals in the car?  What if we read a lawn mower manual while mowing the lawn?  Pffft

From the looks of it, the air marshal should be fired for lack of common sense. Come on, does he really think the terrorists would be dumb enough to be that obvious?

........lol.....yes BUT then.......a SMART terrorist might just think "I'll study the manual 'cos nobody will think that a terrorist would be dumb enough be that obvious"...............commoner

And we now KNOW that smart air marshall is an oxymoron

It makes me sick knowing this is what has become of America. All of this racial profiling crap.
And all of this happening as 1100 more illegal imigrants entered freely.

America- once a free country and once the greatest on the face of Earth, but now Im having my doubts.

[Hai Perso Coyone?]

So does that mean I'm not allowed to read airliner magazines on board?  ::)

Does this mean I can't watch Oceans Eleven in Las Vegas??

Anyone trying to stop me watching the Cannonball Run whilst out for a drive is going to get a fat lip! Uniform or not!

Ive never seen cannonball run

Oh wait, does this mean we cant read the safety brochures on the plane?  They give lots of info

I can't believe you've never seen Cannonball Run Jacob

Thats just wrong - I thought everybody in the entire universe had seen it.

Cheers,
