Dry run at Detroit airport? "Arabic man" ignores instructions from security guards, part of airport shut down

They thought maybe he didn't understand English, but he did. So what was he doing? "Security scare closes airport concourse," from UPI, February 8:

DETROIT, Feb. 8 (UPI) -- Part of a Detroit airport terminal was shut down Monday after an Arabic man ignored instructions from security guards, police said....

The man allegedly refused to stop for questions during a security screening process, airport spokesman Michael Conway said.

Security guards at first thought the man didn't understand English and therefore didn't understand their questions, but when he was taken into custody, he began to speak in English, Conway said.

Police, who reported nothing unusual was found when the man's body was searched, were conducting a background check and planned to search his luggage and car, impounded by airport police.

Can't we give him a free vacation trip to the "House of Peace"? It might be permanent, though.

Quick, read him his Miranda rights!

Just like many speakers of English as a second language, he tuned out anyone who wasn't speaking directly at that moment about something that interested him. Certainly no infidel could be worth stopping to translate.

Testing. Testing. Testing.

Even though nothing was found, these type of incidents applied regularly, will lead to travel becoming increasingly difficult.

This man knows of the consequences of his behavior. He should be charged with breaching airport security at the least.

But then he is a Muslim, and it is his cultural and religious right to make Jihad against the Infidel nation.


Saw the king of Jordan being interviewed on CNN yesterday;
and on the subject of extremists,said that there are extremists in every religion.This cliche seem to be the default explanation for Muslim violence.It's like saying
everybody is doing it so why pick on Muslims.When has anyone
heard of a Christian suicide bomber,or violence by a group of Christians leaving a church service or funeral?

Wasn't there a similar case a while ago in Amsterdam airport, where a certain Tariq Ramadan ignored safety regulations and security guards and was arrested for it?

Turned out he is a Muslim, and it is his cultural and religious right to make Jihad against the Infidel nation.

But they still let him off....

"Saw the king of Jordan being interviewed on CNN yesterday;
and on the subject of extremists,said that there are extremists in every religion."

Oh, please. Only Muslims are mass-murderers.

Man hit with Taser in Metro Airport security breach had no plane ticket

Romulus -- FBI officials have charged a 27-year-old Ohio man with violating airport security requirements after he allegedly ran past a security checkpoint at Detroit Metropolitan Airport, refused orders to stop and was shot with a Taser this morning.

FBI Special Agent Michael Thomas filed the criminal complaint today against Kaylan Policherla in U.S. District Court in Detroit. In the report Thomas said Policherla walked through the checkpoint and metal detector with his hands concealed in his jacket pockets. He didn't have a ticket or present identification.

"I am aware that Policherla was not responsive to the verbal commands given to him by airport police and that an airport officer had discharged his Taser at subject, which had no effect on subject," Thomas wrote.

Knowingly entering an aircraft or airport area in violation of security requirements is a felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison.

Policherla ran past the security checkpoint at the McNamara Terminal about 7:45 a.m. and refused to stop when ordered by Transportation Security Administration officers, said Jim Fotenos, TSA spokesman. Authorities activated the breach alarm, causing metal gates to snap down, isolating the section around Concourse A.

"It worked really well. This guy had no place to go," said Michael Conway, airport spokesman.

The incident caused delays of almost an hour. Regular screening procedures resumed about 8:40 a.m.

The protocols and procedures appeared to have been executed properly, Fotenos said. Conway says the man's vehicle was located at the airport, searched and towed. Conway says people in the isolated area were evacuated.

People evacuated from the terminal were screened again.

Mark Hinojosa, director of interactive media for The Detroit News, said his flight from Chicago was held on the tarmac because the airport had been closed for nearly an hour, according to the pilot.

"Our pilot told the passengers that nothing was moving ... because there were security issues in the terminal," Hinojosa said. "He said he was trying to get the ground crew to let us in."

Why are they seemingly attacking the "MECCA" of America, The Holy City of Detroit? Can it be that all Americans, even Muslims are infadels? Where is CAIR?
