The Washington Times writes in this article that the incident reported by Annie Jacobsen three years ago was indeed a probable dry run to test airline security for further terrorist attacks. In view of this new information should we not be taking any odd behavior by Muslims aboard airplanes, such as that of the "flying Imams", as a threat? Why should we be giving Muslims on airplanes, or anywhere else for that matter, the automatic benefit of the doubt?
The inspector general for Homeland Security late Friday released new details of what federal air marshals say was a terrorist dry run aboard Northwest Airlines Flight 327 from Detroit to Los Angeles on June 29, 2004.
Several portions of the report remain redacted. The release stems from a Freedom of Information request by The Washington Times in April 2006. The Times first reported on July 22 that this and other probes and dry runs were occurring on commercial flights since the September 11 terrorist attacks.
