6 Muslim Imams Removed from US Airways flight at Minneapolis – St Paul International Airport

Here is a sure fire way of getting escorted off a plane in a post 9-11 world, stand up and start praying to Allah.   The six Muslim scholars returning from a conference in Minneapolis of the North American Imams Federation were removed from US Airways Flight 300 bound to Phoenix. Passengers on the flight raised concerns with the flight crew when the 3 of the Imams stood up on the plane and said their normal evening prayers. And we are supposed to take your word for this? Standard custom getting on to a plane is to find your seat and fasten your seat belt. Sorry if that does not conform with you. However, who flew airplanes into the Twin Towers, The Pentagon and a field in Pennsylvania?

“They took us off the plane, humiliated us in a very disrespectful way,” said Omar Shahin, of Phoenix. The six Muslim scholars were returning from a conference in Minneapolis of the North American Imams Federation, said Shahin, president of the group. Five of them were from the Phoenix-Tempe area, while one was from Bakersfield, Calif., he said. Three of them stood and said their normal evening prayers together on the plane, as 1.7 billion Muslims around the world do every day, Shahin said. He attributed any concerns by passengers or crew to ignorance about Islam.

The interdiction efforts by the Coast Guard have been so effective the trafficers are using submarines now to import cocaine into the country. But yesterday they caught one of them off of Costa Rica and seized 3.5 tons of cocaine.

Good job, Coast Guard.

When a Sex Act Turns into Violating the Patriot Act & an FBI Arrest … Wanna Get Away?

Southwest Airlines could actually use what happened on their flight as a possible marketing ad. It would appear that Carl Persing and Dawn Sewell are in a world of trouble. Why? Oh performing a sex act on a plane after flight attendants told them to stop. Carl, was it worth it?

“Persing was observed nuzzling or kissing Sewell on the neck, and … with his face pressed against Sewell’s vaginal area. During these actions, Sewell was observed smiling,” reads the indictment filed by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

On a second warning from the flight attendant, Persing snapped back threatening the flight attendant with “serious consequences” if he did not leave them alone.

The comment was enough to have the couple, both in their early 40s, arrested when the plane reached its destination in Raleigh, North Carolina, and charged with obstructing a flight attendant and with criminal association. (Breitbart)

You gotta love liars, excuse me lawyers. What ridiculous explanation did Persing’s defense attorney dream up to explain what he was doing on the Southwest Airlines flight from Los Angeles? He  stated that “his client was not feeling well when he placed his head on his companion’s lap.” Of course he was. What creative minds they have. If found guilty, the two could be sent to jail for up to 20 years … Wanna Get Away? Or is it go away for 20?

Coast Guard and HITRON Taking a Bite Out of Crime and Drugs

The US Coast Guard has been on the front line of defense in the war on drugs for years. Drug runners have headed for the US in specially designed speed boats. Many of these drug runners were easily able to out run the Coast Guard boats in the past. Creating a real issue in trying to get drugs of the streets.

The cavalry has arrived. There’s a new sheriff in town and his name is HITRON, Helicopter Interdiction Tactical Squadron. The war on drugs playing field has been evened. It’s a start; however, we have a long way to go.

These aircraft employ the latest radar and Forward Looking Infrared sensors as well as state of the art Night Vision Goggles to pierce the night.  HITRON arms these helicopters with M-16 5.56mm rifles and M240 7.62mm machine guns for warning shots and self-protection, and the RC50 laser-sighted .50 caliber precision rifle to disable the engines of non-compliant suspect vessels.

One thing is for certain, the HITRON’s will not be out run. These heavily armed and extremely fast helicopters are taking a bite out of the drug runners. Working in conjunction with the Coast Guard fleet, they make a formidable team. Although, I do not think many of us would mind if you fired at the crew either.

Cut left — cut right — it doesn’t matter. The bad guys down below aren’t getting away.

“What you’re trying to do is stop the vessel… so that a boarding team can come on board and inspect it,” explained HITRON gunner AET John Deuster.

Along the St. Johns River, in the shadow of downtown Jax, they train three times a week for intense missions over the open ocean. Out at sea, they swoop in over speedboats loaded with drugs and thugs.

But their gunners don’t aim for the crew. They’re trained to blast out the engines on the back of a drug runner’s boat. (First Coast News)
