Northeast Intelligence Network’s Doug Hagmann reports (several annoying pop-ups at link) on a disruption aboard United Airlines Flight 227 from Denver to Los Angeles on Wednesday, which follows and appears to mirror a similar disruption aboard AirTran flight 297 last month.
The behavior is also similar to the 2006 “Flying Imams” incident.
[S]everal passengers who were described as Middle Eastern in appearance, confirmed by this investigator to be a group of Muslims traveling together, were removed from that aircraft due to suspicious behavior that originated in the terminal and continued to the airplane.
According to information obtained by this investigator, seven men of Middle Eastern appearance, boarded flight 227. Two took their seats in coach, while five took their seats in the first class section of the plane. At a critical pre-flight point, the individuals appeared to act in concert with one another, changing seats and moving stowed luggage to very specific areas of the aircraft, often having to move the stowed bags of other passengers to do so. They disobeyed or otherwise ignored the admonitions of the flight attendants to remain seated.
Their behavior was so overt and so apparently choreographed, according to our sources, that the flight crew demanded the passengers be removed from the aircraft. One report found on 9News in Denver quoted John Sloan, a passenger aboard that flight: “I have never seen flight attendants so scared in my life. Everything turned out OK, but it was not a very good feeling..”
Coming so soon after the incompetent Obama administration mistakenly released most of our airport security procedures on the internet, not to mention the mistakes of Fort Hood, anything that could even remotely be seen as a dry-run for a terror attack should be of particular concern. Strangely, there won’t even be a criminal investigation.
Following the removal of the passengers, officials brought a bomb-sniffing dogs aboard the aircraft, focusing of the first class section of the plane. Subsequent to the search that found nothing, the offending passengers were removed from the flight and rebooked on another aircraft to their destination. According to federal officials, no criminal investigation is being launched into this incident, which was described as a “customer service” matter.
