Southwest sees speaking Arabic as a threat - kicks man off flight

Do you think the airplane took it "seriously enough" when they took a snippet of conversation and turned it into an "all-clear" plane-wide search--and still kicked him off, then subjected him to interrogation?

I think this entire thing is a f**king sideshow, but I can tell that terrorism has effectively turned people's brains into mush in a way car accidents and heart attacks never would by this thread alone.

Bobby, if you work in intelligence and security, ~~godspeed America~~.

 

What they took was a report about a passenger saying suspicious things that made another passenger nervous and they treated it seriously, the way you are supposed to treat reports like that. The language spoken is irrelevant.

Again, you say it's a sideshow, but if the report happened to be legitimate and was ignored, you'd be the first person b****ing about the failure of security to act.

 

The SJWs were silenced when they found out the person who heard this dude ALSO spoke Arabic.

OOPS

 

"Treated it seriously"->quite an understatement.

The language spoken is irrelevant? So guilty before innocent, right? Usually you have to make a threat to be perceived as one. So unless you're alleging some fantasy world where the guy said "HELLO UNCLE, I BOMB THIS PLANE TODAY, GOODBYE", you might want to say why any of this is a threat at all?

Thanks.

I'll make sure to "get nervous" and trigger a plane-wide search/ejection because my planemate talked too much about Marine Le Pen.

Like I said, absolute mush.

 

bigtexxx--reading. Fundamental skill. Use it

I love being a SJW, btw.

 

Please, Exiled probably STILL thinks that 9/11 was a Jewish conspiracy. We absolutely have that level of crazy represented here and we also have the bad take crew like this version of you and Northside.

 

Well, at this point it's kind of clear that you don't have the intellectual capacity to follow along in this conversation so let's just end it here.

 

Sure, Bobby. You're absolutely great at debating and discussion.

Next time, I'll make sure to come with my trigger warnings so you don't clam up as quickly.

 

Lotta posters justify the event on the grounds of fear, nervousness, anxiety . . . terror!

Land of the free, home of the BRAVE, gentlemen! Everyone's so emotional. . . .

 

The problem is that you seem to think that the airline employees should have just laughed off the passenger that reported the activity. Since you think something so incredibly stupid, there's no point to debate it further. You just don't have what it takes for this conversation.

I mean, I'm sure you're doing the best you can, it's just insufficient for intelligent conversation.

When a passenger reports what they believe to be suspicious activity, you have a responsibility to take it as a serious threat. Stick to the heat lamps.

 

OK, then they searched him and he was clean. . . . Why not fly him to his destination? Even comp it?

 

It's against policy. Once you pull someone, you don't let them back on. Imagine the blowback if they pulled a guy off a flight, didn't find anything, then flew him somewhere only for something bad to happen. It's just not worth it. Give the guy his money back, maybe get him a hotel, but don't put him back on one of your flights the same day.

 

The problem is that you can't seem to detect sarcasm, and my utter disdain for the way you and Cohete think, which is riddled with fallacies and the need to e-penis over the smallest, most trivial things. I do think the two are related. f**king Cohete started talking smack about security protocols with USBs ?_?

I respond to active shootings by going Tony Montana up in ere. ay!

(^ sadly people do ACTUALLY think this)

A stupid question deserves a stupid answer.

Well, don't keep digging if you're in too deep of a hole. Have a great rest of the day, you cheery little snowflake you.

I'll love my heat lampz <3 <3 <3

 

that's questionable if he has the intellectual capability to be good at that, probably he stained part of their socks so often working down there

 

LOL, Northside, Exiled, and the Sweet Lou persona.....that's just a trifecta of D&D unintentional comedy.

 

You gotta got off your whole engineering v. liberal arts dichotomy. All liberal arts and social science fields entail varying mixes of research, history and written reasoning skills which can prepare people for any number of promotional, grant writing, journalistic or non-profit/governmental administrative and analytical roles. Also they're the kinds of fields a lot of the people actually running universities major in, and the original courses of study around which collegiate and universities were firs formed.

 

What would you have done if you were in the flight crews' shoes?
