#1 This might go into the blackhole of secrecy. It isn't the first such incident.

#2 TV news said it was a flight attendant who saw a couple of muzzies reading flight manuals. All have been released, which American Airlines described as a "no threat" situation.

#11 After seeing the 14 Syrian musician incident report deemed, "Classified", I'm not so quick to dismiss this. We were told in the musician incident that they also were "innocuous" and were released.

Is it possible that these 5 guys are the diversion, (identifying air marshalls and passengers that will fight back) in order to prepare for the next attack?

Things will be different next time.
