And also noticing how Phil left all these parts out of his message.

Passengers and flight attendants told law-enforcement officials the imams
switched from their assigned seats to a pattern associated with the
September 11 terrorist attacks and also found in probes of U.S. security
since the attacks -- two in the front row first-class, two in the middle of
the plane on the exit aisle and two in the rear of the cabin.
    "That would alarm me," said a federal air marshal who asked to remain
    anonymous. "They now control all of the entry and exit routes to the
    plane."

   Three of the men asked for seat-belt extenders, although two flight
   attendants told police the men were not oversized. One flight attendant
   told police she "found this unsettling, as crew knew about the six
   [passengers] on board and where they were sitting." Rather than attach
   the extensions, the men placed the straps and buckles on the cabin
   floor, the flight attendant said.

   "That's like shouting 'fire' in a crowded theater. You just can't do
   that anymore," said Robert MacLean, a former air marshal.
    "They should have been denied boarding and been investigated," Mr.
    MacLean said. "It looks like they are trying to create public sympathy
    or maybe setting someone up for a lawsuit."
