| Backing up is hard to do: Feds bust Moslem illegal alien |
| 2006-12-12 |
| A truck-driving student is in custody in Boston after raising suspicions when he wasn’t interested in learning how to back up his rig. WLVI-TV (Ch. 56) reported last night that the would-be trucker is a 28-year-old Muslim from India and had overstayed his visa. An investigation is under way to see whether there is any connection between his unusual behavior and a terrorism plot. Federal authorities were alerted by instructors at the Nationwide Tractor Trailer Driving School in Smithfield, R.I., WLVI reported. The student was described as a resident of New York, with driver’s licenses from New York, New Jersey and Rhode Island. “Every indicator was there,” R.I. State Police Major Steve O’Donnell told WLVI. “Any one of these things alone is fine, but four or five together . . . ” ... and you have "profiling." It works, too. |

| #5 This guy was definitely up to no good. In truck driving school, most of your time is spent on shifting (up and down) without tearing up the tranny followed by backing up. That includes being able to parallel park. No backy up, no license. No kidding. Been there, done that. |

| #1 Let's remember most of these cases don't turn into anything, the guy's on an immigration hold, plenty of time to check him out. |
