Here's what I don't get: dozens of flights have been grounded or canceled entirely because of vague intelligence that there might be a terrorist act on the plane. Nowadays just a one-way ticket is a HUGE red flag. 14 Arabic men with one-way tickets, and the flight left the ground? And the flight attendant told her they were "surrounded" by air marshals? I thought usually there was one, maybe two. This seems very much like a sting operation, they knew these guys were up to something and let it continue in the hopes of catching them in something big.
