#1 He's Saudi. Let's hope he gets deported after his sentence is up.

#2 This is a great article. Fun to read. Your header about the Amish was positively delicious

Saudi, eh? The thought that this might be a "test" of airline procedures has crossed my mind, as I assume it has probably crossed yours.

He is not our friend, and he spits and swears...and eats masking tape too, I hear. I also suspect he doesnt look
particularly nordic or carry himself with the quiet manners of a Lutheran batchelor asking for more fresh biscuits.

#3 Heh! '...fight attendants...' !!! Is that what they have become now?

#4 Possibly Mr. Alramakh, or whatever his name is, was merely being acting the spoilt Saudi male-gift-to-the-universe. In which case the response will be salutary, not only for his ability to survive adulthood beyond his mama's protective arms, but also for his fellows who hear the tale. And if he was, indeed, either testing the waters or engaging in a bit of jihading, the result was salutary as an example, too.

A pack, not a herd. The poor dear didn't have a chance, really, not when even the little flight attendants no longer surrender. A girlfriend of mine does Tae Kwan Do -- following 9/11 she and her instructor developed modified techniques specifically for airplane aisles, and trained all the attendants of the airline she worked for as a head stewardess.

#6 "...one passenger intervened and helped the flight crew restrain him..."

hmm, what a surprise -- give us passengers a reason to open up a can of whoopass on you Mr. Saudi, we only need a good story to tell the man afterwards.

#7 What? Mr. Saudi survived? and with no broken bones?

#8 These people should be charged for the gate time, fuel, and flight time they cost the airline.
It would be nice to run a class action on these nut jobs too on behalf of all of us on the plane that had to change their whole lives around because they had to be moslem in our immediate space.

Stupid a-holes.

#9 Personally, I'd have liked to have seen one US SF soldier aboard that plane, on his way to his fourth or fifth deployment to Afghanistan, unload a can of whupp-a$$ on the little POS, possibly with the help of the karate-trained flight attendant. After that, don't jail him and give his bruises a chance to heal - send his furry little butt back to Saudi-land, bruises and all, special delivery. Then declare him and his entire family persona-non-grata in the US FOREVER.

#10 Then declare him and ~~his entire family~~ all of his fellow Soddies persona-non-grata in the US FOREVER.

Fixed it for ya, OP. No charge.

BTW, Grandmama at the bottom of the page at the link makes a great comment about the TSA.

#11 What is this mysterious "electronic device" described in the article? A phone?
