This kind of stuff gets buried by the MSM press every day.  It does get
circulated amongst industry professionals. I've attached a photo from the
DTW airport taken this week on just how silly things have gotten.  Brad

*From Orlando Fun to Islamic Paradise? Airline threats very real*

*Investigation by Douglas J. Hagmann, <director at homelandsecurityus.com>Director

Target: Airliners in America*

*9 September 2007:* The passengers aboard Delta Airlines Flight 1824 flying
out of Orlando International Airport last Thursday at 7:15 a.m. heard the
following statement over the intercom as they were preparing to taxi onto
the runway on their way to Atlanta, Georgia:

*Ladies and gentlemen, we have been informed that there is "a credible
security risk with this aircraft" and we are returning to the terminal.*

Delta Flight 1824 was scheduled to take off at 7:15 a.m. on September 6,
2007, but did not take off until 10:19 – three hours and 5 minutes behind
schedule, landing in Atlanta without incident at 11:52 a.m. This report
could have been quite different had it not been for the great work by
security officials on-site at the Orlando airport. The events that led to
the delay might never have seen the light of day had it not been for those
special people who care about bringing the honest truth of the Islamic
terrorist threat to the public.

If you rely on official government statements and the major
media,<http://www.orlandosentinel.com/business/custom/tourism/orl-mcfbriefs07_507sep07,0,7851992.story>the
entire incident involving Flight 1824 was "benign" and was
*never* a security risk. It involved 12 people from two families, all of
Middle Eastern origin, reportedly carrying suspicious items in their
luggage. Again, if you rely on official government statements and the major
media, the "suspicious items" inside of checks luggage turned out to be "a
bottle that had been covered with tape to prevent leaking."

"It was all benign," said Dave Couvertier, the FBI agent from the Tampa,
Florida Orlando FBI office. The flight ultimately took off about 10:20 a.m.
without the two families, who were still undergoing FBI questioning at that
time. They were ultimately released, stated FBI spokesman Couvertier.
Knowing the series of events that caused the abrupt turnaround of Flight
1824, let's see how "benign" this incident really was.

*Hardly Benign: What really happened*

The Northeast Intelligence Network initially received information about
Flight 1824 from a trusted federal source early Thursday, who described an
incident that could hardly be considered benign by any standards. This
source is one of many federal sources who are "tired of the endless
cover-ups" by high-ranking government officials and untruths that are
constantly told to the American public about matters related to potential
Islamic terrorism "in America, against Americans and on American soil."

In the days that followed receiving this initial information, Doug Hagmann,
the director of the Northeast Intelligence Network obtained and developed
additional information from this and other well-placed sources, *including a
passenger, interviewed by Hagmann, who was aboard that flight.* The
information uncovered during this investigation "could be of the scale of
the 9/11 hijackers using revised 2007 tactics," stated Hagmann of the
findings. *Click HERE or on article title or "read more" above for complete
article. <http://www.homelandsecurityus.com/090907Flt1824>*

According to the information developed during the course of this
investigation, there were at least nine – and perhaps as many as 12
individuals of Middle Eastern origin who were reportedly traveling from
Orlando, Florida to Atlanta, Georgia, and then scheduled to catch a flight
from Atlanta to their final destination of Saudi Arabia. It was verified
that of the 12 people, there were at least six men and three women traveling
together.

During a routine test of the baggage, Transportation Security Administration
authorities ran the luggage through x-ray detection and then conducted an
explosive trace detection of the bags belonging to the 9 Middle Eastern
passengers. The x-ray of the bags found questionable items inside the
luggage, and the explosive trace detection tests resulted in a "positive
hit" for explosives – specifically, SEMTEX, an explosive commonly used by
Islamic terrorists. To be certain, however, the luggage was test no less
than 4 times by four different machines and operators. Each time, a
"positive hit" for explosives was registered. "The presence of explosive
traces was 'no mistake,'" stated one federal source talking to this agency
on condition of anonymity.

Due to the multiple independent "hits" for traces of SEMTEX, TSA authorities
emptied the luggage in a secured area, and were astonished by what they
found. Authorities found 3 jars of Vaseline duct taped together to make one
large cylinder. An inspection of this Vaseline-filled cylinder determined
that someone had previously removed the Vaseline and replaced it back into
the containers, something that was proven by air pockets left within the
containers. Based on a thorough inspection of all the luggage belonging to
these Middle Eastern passengers, authorities also found multiple strands of
electrical wire with the ends stripped of the insulation, thus exposing the
copper wire, small eyeglass screw drivers, clocks, cocoa butter, 2 tubs of
butter, batteries of various sizes and types, a computer laptop, and
multiple bottles of hydrogen peroxide – 144 ounces in all.

Even more disconcerting, TSA and security officials observed that two of the
Middle Eastern men intended for the flight had smeared Vaseline on their
arms and neck areas – a common tactic among hand-to-hand fighters who want
the advantage in the event someone tries to grab them or put them in a
headlock. Covered by the greasy agent, they are better able to extricate
themselves during close-quarters, hand-to-hand fighting.

A closer inspection of the identification possessed by the Middle Eastern
passengers determined that three-(3) of the men possessed false or
fraudulent credentials. In fact, one of the Middle Eastern men possessed 2
passports with his picture on both, but the passport information was
different on each one.

After flight 1824 had returned to the gate, all passengers were made to
leave the plane and take their luggage with them. They were all re-screened
and after three hours of extensive security inspection of the luggage and
aircraft, were allowed to re-board the airplane and continue their journey
to Atlanta. According to official sources speaking on condition of anonymity
to the Northeast Intelligence Network, the Middle Eastern passengers were
taken from the checkpoint to the Orlando Police Station at the airport by
police and FBI officials. Ultimately, they were released by federal
officials well after flight 1824 had left the airport.

*Second incident at the same airport, same circumstances*

According to reports from officials speaking on condition of anonymity, a
similar incident occurred at the Orlando airport at approximately 1:00 p.m.
*on the same day – at the same security checkpoint.* On this occasion, it
was a female who reportedly possessed some of the same items in her luggage
as the previous passengers. In fact, she was a member of the same family,
added this source. According to information developed, she was not allowed
on the aircraft, although her disposition – in addition to the disposition
of the other two Middle Eastern families, remains undetermined at this time.

These are the facts developed to date about Delta Flight 1824 from Orlando.
