I have tried to remain objective in this case, but honestly the whole situation just bothers me.  It just doesn’t play right.

And today after reading the police reports and the witness statements, I feel my skepticism is confirmed.

Before I go any further, I am basing this blog on information I got from Pajamas Media, via Michelle Malkin.  By information I refer to the documents here and here, which are the official police reports and a letter from a  passenger.

After reading everything I can see four possible scenarios that came to mind.

1. They were innocent travelers who made some innocent goofs
2. They were terrorists making a dry run rehearsal for a terrorist act and testing security
3. They were terrorists planning on disrupting a flight
4. They were deliberately acting as suspicious as possible in order to cause a scandal

While some bloggers advocate 2 and 3, I do not.  I would rather say that 2 and 3 are only plausible if you combine either of them with 4, and say they wanted people to think they were either doing a rehearsal, or were engaging in an actual terrorist act.
