NW Flight in Amsterdam

Recommended Posts

Here's a start:

That's what happens when you let dark-skinned folk on a plane... To India!

On TV News at the moment - seems the "Jumbo-12" are guilty of being Muslim so far!!

Mike.

Edited to add: From personal experience... Becoming suicidal on a NorthWorst flight out of Schipol isn't all that unreasonable!

Taking the piss out of the FrenchAmericans since before it was fashionable.

Prenait la pisse hors du FrançaisCanadiens méridionaux puisqu'avant lui à la mode.

OK. If they're arrested tried and jailed, then it was a terrorist plot. If the "Jumbo-12" get to fly, then it's yet more stupid mass hysteria.

>Just stupid mass hysteria.

Stupid mass hysteria? It's all part of the War On Terror. I'm sure you'd be singing a different tune if it turned out that those 12 passengers were found to be carrying large bottles of hand cream, or bunches of bananas!

No - I'd just release the tiger.

Thank you. I assume that was a compliment since I was proved right all along? Or did you miss Kallend's post. The "Jumbo-12" have been released and are getting to fly. Hopefully on the same delayed plane they were on yesterday!

The problem with these "preventive" detentions is proving to be that they are all too easily driven by hysteria & xenophobia. More interestingly, notice how it's the "bottom of the market" airlines which are suffering them.

I wonder if there's any causal link between being too dim to stay off "cargo-class" airlines and thinking that all dark skinned men must be terrorists?
