OPNTPax, so if you are convinced the article had merit, why weren't the Syrians arrested on arrival at LAX?
That's a good question. Maybe, one day, when enough ink and angst is shed over this story, the flight attendants will have an opportunity to give their version of what happened.
Here's another possibility:
I, personally, have run across law enforcement personnel who have refused to cite or arrest people merely because they weren't there to witness the alleged crime. Blame it on lawsuits and litigious societies. Like everyone else, police don't "want to get involved" if they can avoid it. Too much hassle. I'm sure there are members of the police force who are there mainly to collect a paycheck and count the days to their retirement.
I dunno. I'm not saying that everything went down exactly as the author of the piece said it did.
However, it would probably be incorrect to conclude, as some have, that nothing happened. The truth probably falls somewhere in between.
Apparently, people were field interviewed for hours over this thing by the authorities. If the Syrians had remained seated during those portions of the flight when they were supposed to remain seated, I would think there would have been much less "cannon fodder" to fuel the concerns of the story's author and other passengers.
I guess you believe in the chemtrail conspiracy as well.
Maybe not that, but I CAN tell you that I don't believe the findings of the Warren Report.
