#1 Such clever lads: link

David Wearden, 42, from Chester, said it was reports that the pair had been overheard claiming they had 30 minutes left to live which led to concerns.

Not to mention wearing heavy sweaters and jackets when everyone else is in summer shorts and lobster sunburns.

#2 Their homes should be searched for "Shahid videos".

#3 I wonder if our little troll knows them. I suspect their acquaintances are going to be under the eye of the police for a bit.

#4 They're probably related. BTW TW, nobody seems to know: What does one feed a troll? RB'ers like red meat, but trolls, I dunno.

#7 Are not the actions of these 2 muslims lads, "having a bit of fun" akin to yelling Fire in a crowded theatre?

Fellow passengers would have been justified had they beaten the crud out of these 2...

#8 They should get a week in jail for the jest. In the US if you joke about a bomb in an airport I think you'd be lucky to get out with a week in jail. They may not have said bomb but they hinted enough in their little game. Let them eat gruel.

My other thought is that if I were Al Queda I'd set up a thousand of these false-positives until the airlines go bankrupt or draconic laws are put in place.

#9 Well, who better than the Rantburgers to pose this question to - Are these innocent false alarms deliberate? An otherwise inoccuous person sets off just enough alarm bells for folks studying the reaction - track back the person and you'll find no serious connection to terrorism. And it creates a 'false alarm' mentality to slow response or dull suspicion.

#10 Too bad we don't have another empty continent to send these a$$holes to, like the British did with their troublemakers by sending them to Australia. We need to develop interstellar travel capability, so we can send ALL the muzzies to a planet all their own, and then make sure no one else ever goes there. Let's see how they develop.

#11 Old Patriot, we've still got Australia. I think they could have a chunk of the US claim staked out for their new colony.

#12 I suspect some are planned by Al Qaeda & Associates, some are just idiots having fun at the expense of the kufr, Colin MacDougall.

#13 Drop them off in the center of Australia with a liter bottle of Evian and a straw hat. Then say G'day boys as you leave them there. The next batch might find their bleached bones before expiring themselves.
