Today is the second worst day of my life after 12-25-09. Today isthe day that I realized that my own country is lying to me and all ofmy fellow Americans. Let me explain.

Ever since I got off of Flight 253 I have been repeating what I sawin US Customs. Specifically, 1 hour after we left the plane, bombsniffing dogs arrived. Up to this point, all of the passengers onFlight 253 stood in a small area in an evacuated luggage claim area ofan airport terminal. During this time period, all of the passengers hadtheir carry on bags with them. When the bomb sniffing dogs arrived, 1dog found something in a carry on bag of a 30 ish Indian man. This isnot the so called "Sharp Dressed" man. I will refer to this man as "Theman in orange". The man in orange, who stood some 20ft away from me theentire time until he was taken away, was immediately taken away to besearched and interrogated in a nearby room. At this time he was nothandcuffed. When he emerged from the room, he was then handcuffed andtaken away. At this time an FBI agent came up to the rest of thepassengers and said the following (approximate quote) "You all arebeing moved to another area because this area is not safe. I am suremany of you saw what just happened (Referring to the man in orange) andare smart enough to read between the lines and figure it out." We werethen marched out of the baggage claim area and into a long hallway.This entire time period and until we left customs, no person thatwasn't a law enforcement personnel or a passenger on our flight wasallowed anywhere on our floor of the terminal (or possibly the entireterminal) The FBI was so concerned during this time, that we were notallowed to use the bathroom unless we went alone with an FBI agent, wewere not allowed to eat or drink, or text or call anyone. I have beenrepeating this same story over the last 5 days. The FBI has, since welanded, insisted that only one man was arrested for the airliner attack(contradicting my account). However, several of my fellow passengershave come over the past few days, backed up my claim, and put pressureon FBI/Customs to tell the truth. Early today, I heard from twodifferent reporters that a federal agency (FBI or Customs) was nowadmitting that another man has been held (and will be heldindefinitely) since our flight landed for "immigration reasons." Noticethat this man was "being held" and not "arrested", which was a cutesemantic ploy by the FBI to stretch the truth and not lie.

Just a question, could that mean that the man in orange had no passport?

However, a few hours later, Customs changed its story again. Thistime, Mr. Ron Smith of Customs, says the man that was detained "hadbeen taken into custody, but today tells the news the person was apassenger on a different flight." Mr. Ron Smith, you are playing theAmerican public for a fool. Lets take a look at how plausible thisstory is (After you've already changed it twice). For the story to betrue, you have to believe, that:

1. FBI/Customs let passengers from another flight co-mingle with thepassengers of flight 253 while the most important investigation in 8years was pending. I have already stated that not one person who wasn'ta passenger or law enforcement personnal was in our area the entiretime we were detained by Customs.
2. FBI/Customs while detaining the flight 253 passengers in perhaps themost important investigation since the last terrorist attack, anddespite not letting any flight 253 passenger drink, eat, make a call,or use the bathroom, let those of other flights trample through thearea and possibly contaminate evidence.
3. You have to believe the above (1 and 2) despite the fact that noflights during this time allowed passengers to exit off of the planesat all and were detained on the runway during at least the first hourof our detention period.
4. You have to believe that the man that stood 20 feet from me since weentered customs came from a mysterious plane that never landed, let itspassengers off the plane and let this man sneak into our passengergroup despite having extremely tight security at this time (i.e. nodrinking even).
5. FBI/Customs was hauling mysterious passengers from other flightsthrough the area we were being held to possibly comtaminate evidenceand allow discussions with suspects on Flight 253 or to possibly allowthe exchange of bombs, weapons or other devices between the mysteriouspassengers from other flights and those on flight 253.

Seriously Mr. Ron Smith, how stupid do you think the American public is?

Mr. Ron Smith's third version of the story is an absoluteinplausible joke. I encourage you, Mr. Ron Smith, to debate me anytime,anywhere, and anyplace in public to let the American people see who iscredible and who is not.

I ask, isn't this the more plausible story:

1. Customs/FBI realized that they screwed up and don't want to admitthat they left flight 253 passengers on a flight with a live bomb onthe runway for 20 minutes.
2. Customs/FBI realized that they screwed up and don't want to admitthat they left flight 253 passengers in customs for 1 hour with a livebomb in a carry on bag.
3. Customs/FBI realize that the man in orange points to a greaterinvolvement then the lone wolf theory that they have been promoting.

Mr. Ron Smith I encourage you to come out of your cubicle and come up with a more plausible version number 4 of your story.

Haskell continued his comment in a different post on MLive.

For the last five days I have been reporting my story of the socalled "sharp dressed man." For those of you who haven't read myaccount, it involves a sharp dressed "Indian man" attempting to talk aticket agent into letting a supposed "Sudanese refugee" (The terrorist)onto flight 253 without a passport. I have never had any idea how itplayed out except to note that the so called "Sudanese reefugee" laterboarded my flight and attempted to blow it up and kill me. At no timedid my story involve, or even find important whether the terroristactually had a passport. The importance of my story was and always willbe, the attempt with an accomplice (apparently succesful) of aterrorist with all sorts of prior terrorist warning signs to skirt thenormal passport boarding procedures in Amsterdam. By the way, Amsterdamsecurity did come out the other day and admit that the terrorist didnot have to "Go through normal passport checking procedures".

   

Amsterdam security, please define to the American public "Normal passport boarding procedures".

You see the FBI would have the American public believe that what wasimportant was whether the terrorist in fact had a passport.

Seriously think about this people. You have a suicide bomber who hadrecently been to Yemen to but a bomb, whose father had reported him asa terrorist, who supposedly was on some kind of U.S. terror watchlist,and most likely knew the U.S. was aware of these red flags. Yet, hedidn't go through "Normal passport checking procedures." What does thatmean? Maybe that he flashed a passport to some sort of sympatheticsecurity manager in a backroom to avoid a closer look at theterrorist's "red flags"? What is important is that the terroristavoided using normal passport checking procedures (apparentlysuccessfully) in order to avoid a closer look into his red flags. Whocares if he had a passport. The important thing is that he didn't wantto show it and somehow avoided a closer inspection and "normal passportchecking procedures." Each passport comes with a bar code on it thatcan be scanned to provide a wealth of information about the individual.I would bet that the passport checking procedures for the terrorist didnot include a bar code scan of his passport (which could have revealeddamning information about the terrorist).

Please note that there is a very easy way to verify the veracity ofmy prior "sharp dressed man" account. Dutch police have admitted thatthey have reviewed the video of the "sharp dressed man" that Ireferenced. Note that it has not been released anywhere, You see, if myeye witness account is false, it could easily be proven by releasingthe video. However, the proof of my eyewitness account would also beverified if I am telling the truth and I am. There is a reason we haveonly heard of the video and not seen it. dutch authorities, "RELEASETHE VIDEO!" This is the most important video in 8 years and may be allof two minutes long. Show the entire video and "DO NOT EDIT IT"! TheAmerican public deserves its own chance to attempt to identify the"sharp dressed man". I have no doubt that if the video indicated thatmy account was wrong, that the video would have already swept over theentire world wide web.

Instead of the video, we get a statment that the video has beenviewed and that the terrorist had a passport. Each of these statementsmade by the FBI is a self serving play on semantics and each misses theimportance of my prior "sharp dressed man" account. The importancebeing that the man "Tried to board the plane with an accomplice andwithout a passort". The other significance is that only the airportsecurity video can verify my eyewitness account and that it is notbeing released.

Who has the agenda here and who doesn't? Think about that for a minute.
