The report just came out that a couple Saudi brothers(both pilots)
were on a flight from Amsterdam to Mexico City that was scheduled to
fly over the US some time ago. The flight had to be turned back
because Canada would not allow them to land. (They were on the
terrorist watch list)
The story went on to say that, when they got back to Amsterdam, they
tried to go to England and were denied. The reason they said they
were originally going to Mexico was to visit their sick father. My
question is, "Why didn't they try another route to Mexico if they
indeed were trying to visit their sick father?" Why try to go
somewhere completely different? I don't for one minute think the
threat to aviation is over.
