Eight Men Escorted Off Plane In Chicago
This is a pretty scary VLOG entry. My youngest brother was on a plane in Chicago waiting to take off for Denver when the flight crew started taking passengers off. Ultimately 8 passengers were removed, for suspicious behaviour.

Thanks for the link Alec. It was a rather surreal experience. I fly ALOT and have never seen anything quite like this before.

I am glad to hear your brother is o.k.
This whole thing is getting out of control. I have the feeling that most of that is just to keep people scared enough. Scared people are easier to control and to influence. It has happened all the time in history.
All this thread level crazyness really doesn’t do anything to prevent anything. It is just to keep the people in check. I mean if you consider how many terrorist have been caught during elevated thread levels and weigh that against the disruptions of businesses and peoples travel plans you can clearly see that it has no other purpose.
This whole issue of Fingerprinting/a> all tourists has lead to a steep decline in foreign travelers.
