9/13    heard that another flight out of JFK had 3 arabians who got in an
        argument at 9am in the plane still loading passengers at the gate.
        they asked them to leave the planet but refused.. they called the
        police but by the time they arrived the 3 arabians vanished.
        They better follow up on those 3 guys cuz they are still out there.
        \_ just cause they are arab?  is it any wonder that somebody picked a
           fight with them and got into an argument?  and I assume you mean
           "leave the plane"?
           \_ idiot, it was during the day right when a plane hit the twc at
              9am, they were suspicious and behaved irratically and were asked
              to leave and refused, if they were innocent why would the run
              from the police?
              \_ sounds like you're the idiot. you get in a fight with someone,
                 you see cops, you stop and walk away. no matter what race
                 or where. and it's erratic, dipshit. -ali
                 \_ sounds like you're the idiot. Say you get into an accident
                    (automobile) and the other person starts aruging with you
                    (as is frequently the case), according to your logic, you
                    would get into your car and drive off if you saw the cops.
                    Damn that's great thinking. dipshit.
                    \_ running away from the scene of the crime in that case
                       is illegal, nimrod. walking away from an argument with
                       your possee is not. you should just have the sense now
                       to delete your post and remove evidence of your
                       inability to make analogies. -ali
                       \_ By fight, I assumed you meant blows (ie assualt
                          which is a crime), rather than a recess pissing
                          match between 2nd graders. I'm sorry I didn't
                          understand your pansy world view better.
                          Furthermore, why the hell would you walk away
                          when the cops showed up? You should just stick
                          around and explain the situation, UNLESS you
                          are guilty and don't want to get caught.
                          \_ There is a big difference between a fight and
                          a car accident.  Further, the original poster said
                          "argument", not fight.  How did you make the assumption
                          that blows were involved?  -mlee
                          \_ I'm responding to Ali not the orignal post.
           \_ first, you didn't say it happened on Tuesday.  some flights are
              resuming today, no?  you also didn't say they behaved erratically,
              just that they got into an argument.  If someone asked me to
              "leave the planet", hell yes, I'd refuse too.  and why would they
              vanish?  well, given the amount of anti-arab sentiment going
              around, why would you want to stick around for a NY mob to get
              you?
              \_ what anti arab sentiment, it was tuesday at 9am twink
                 and since 11 am tuesday , there have been no flights, put
                 2 and 2 together moron
                \_ wrong.  some flights have resumed today.  I'm sorry that I
                   haven't been keeping track of exactly which airports have
                   resumed operation at what time for which flights.
                 \_ wrong.  some flights are resuming today.  I'm sorry that I
                    haven't kept track of which airports have resumed operation
                    at what times for which flights.  next time be more specific
                    in your story, twink.
                    at what times for which flights to know you were talking
                    about Tuesday.  next time be more specific in your story.
                    (fyi, I checked.  NYC airports opened for limited travel
                    at 6 AM Eastern today.)
        \_ Wasn't the proper procedure in this situation (someone boarded
           a plane and then left) that the airline should clear out all
           passengers and hand-carry and check-in luggage, scan the plane,
           and then re-check-in everyone and everything before taking off?

           \_ I hope not. Why would the presence of a person mean that a bomb
              could be on board? If the bomb got past the security the first
              time it would do it the second time.
              \_ Not true. Yuen mentioned that the luggage should be hand
                 checked the second time.
              \_ The second check will probably be a bit more complete.
           \_ sounds like you're the idiot. you get in a fight with someone,
              you see cops, you stop and walk away. no matter what race
              or where. and it's erratic, dipshit. -ali
              \_ dipshit, the stewardess asked them.. there was no one else
                 involved there was no fight between them and other passengers
              \_ Great logic. The next time I get into an accident with
                 someone and they start arguing with me and I see the cops
                 show up, I'll get in my car and drive off. Yeah. Dipshit.
                 If you have done nothing wrong you have nothing to fear
                 from the police. You should stay put and explain the
                 situation. Only people who are afraid (or guilty) run
                 away.
          \_ you mean wtc, not twc.  and you didn't say it happened on Tuesday.
             some flights are resuming today, no?  you also didn't say they
             behaved erratically, just that they got into an argument.  If
             someone asked me to "leave the planet", hell yes, I'd refuse too.
             and why would they vanish?  well, given the amount of anti-arab
             sentiment going around, why would you want to stick around?
              \_ I think the idea is to make sure everything on board belongs
                 to someone on board, so as to prevent non-suicidal bombers.
                 Of course this won't prevent suicidal bombers and hijackers.
                 I thought it was FAA procedure.  --- yuen
