Will the Islamophobia never end? After all, don't you dress up in your pilot's uniform for a Sunday stroll? Come on, admit it. "Saudi Arabian posing as pilot held at Manila airport," from Agence France-Presse, January 12 (thanks to Mary):
MANILA, Philippines--A 19-year-old Saudi Arabian man dressed as a pilot was arrested Tuesday after he illegally entered a restricted area in the main airport in the Philippines, an airport official said."He was able to elude our security by misrepresenting himself as a pilot of Saudia," said airport general manager Alfonso Cusi, referring to the Saudi Arabian flag carrier....
The detained Saudi, identified by the local authorities as Hani Abdulelah Bukhari, told airport police he was there to meet his father, a retired Saudia pilot who later arrived on a flight from Saudi Arabia.
He was wearing a pilot's uniform from Saudia Airlines when airport security personnel noticed him lining up at the immigration section of the passenger terminal, Cusi told ABS-CBN television.
The young man produced a card identifying him as a dependent of a retired Saudia employee, he said....
An airport report on the incident said Bukhari was enrolled at a local flying school. The school said however, that he was not a student although his two brothers were....
See—it's all innocent. This "youth" just wants to be like his pilot father, and his brothers who are studying to be pilots...yeah, that must be it..

In only slightly unrelated news, a man on the "Do Not Board" list was able to board an airplane in Philadelphia and fly to San Francisco.
Luckily, the man was not a violent Jihadist—he did, however, have a virulent case of TB. He is now being treated for his disease at a Bay Area hospital.
Another failure of the no-fly list.

Saudis at flying schools. Hmmmm.
Philippines - Thank you. Operation Bojinka successfully thwarted saving more lives than 9/11 and about a dozen civilian airliners.

According to this story at Snopes, 9/11 suicide hijacker Mohammad Atta used this tactic to gain information about American Airlines flying procedures.

Islamic actions are such, that even if they do not succeed in bringing down an airplane, they will have so gummed up the air transport system, that for all practical purposes, they would have stopped civial aviation. This they could never do even if all the Arab air forces combined to attack civil air liners.
The reason for their success is that we are not taking this war seriously. It is a war, and not isolated criminal incidents, which Obama fervently wants us to believe, and has nothing to do with Islam.
Until airport employees face demotions or terminations for such breaches, this nonsense will go on and on. There appears to be no learning curve here.
I wonder whether the Filipinos - bearing in mind the recent cases of the a$$bomber and the knickerbomber - carried out a full strip search and cavity search of this creature, after apprehending him?
I think I have found the first pilot for Muslim Airlines! Motto: "We take off, but we never land!"
