Police Question Saudi Man Accused of Attempt to Break Into Plane's Cockpit
Abdulaziz Mubarak Alshammari, a 20 year old Saudi citizen who had just arrived in this country, attempted to enter the cockpit of an American Airlines flight en route from New York to Indianapolis yesterday. Even though Abdulaziz's story about being a student at the University of Indianapolis turned out to be false, no charges were filed and he was almost immediately released. Apparently a check of watch-lists failed to turn up his name.
Remember these two incidents from May 8th of this year that TSA also failed to prevent?
What do all three of these incidents have in common? No, they weren't all Saudi citizens. One was from Yemen and one was "from" Burbank. I put "from" in quotes because the Yemen citizen was listed as being "from" Vallejo, Ca. So, I can't say for sure that all three weren't foreign born. In all three incidents though, it was not some TSA agent or even an air marshal that subdued the potential terrorist. No, it was freshly groped U.S. citizens who saved the day in each and every instance.
