A second pilot said that, on one of his recent flights, an air marshal forced his way into the lavatory at the front of his plane after a man of Middle Eastern descent locked himself in for a long period. The marshal found the mirror had been removed and the man was attempting to break through the wall. The cockpit was on the other side. The second pilot said terrorists are "absolutely" testing security. Simply UFB. Looks like it will happen again. Next time I fly, I may bring some vinyl lock strips with me to use as handcuffs.

14 Syrian men The men, who were not on terrorist watch lists, were released, although their information and fingerprints were added to a database. The group had been hired as musicians to play at a casino, and the booking, hotel accommodations and return flight to New York from Long Beach, Calif., also checked out, Mr. Adams said. The All Syrian Terrorist Band? I've never seen an all middle-eastern band we have lots of casino goers here, have you all ever seen anything like that playing in a casino?

"If 19 terrorists can learn to fly airplanes into buildings, couldn't 14 terrorists learn to play instruments?" she asked in the article. The assumption is that they were actually musicians and that their story checked out. I would take it a step further and investigate whoever hired them. No need to actually learn how to play instruments if your hiring agent is actually in on the plan and is the alibi. edit: I see that everyone has already thought of this...LOL
