The hidden hijackers

[Woody Box]

Did you know this here?

WCVB reported that Middle Eastern men who boarded the two planes bound for New York on Tuesday at Logan Airport bought one-way tickets and paid in cash after arriving late, all of which are security risk flags.

I thought all hijackers of AA 11 and UA 175 purchased their tickets in advance, one or two weeks ago!? Who were these late-arriving Middle Easterners?

Maybe these two guys here?

Meanwhile, an official source at Saudi Airlines announced that Amer Kenfer, a Saudi aviation engineer whose name appeared on the list of passengers on board the United Airlines flight, en route from Boston to Los Angeles, is currently in Saudi Arabia.

Kenfer called Saudi Airlines from his home in Mecca once he heard his name announced as one of the passengers on the United flight, confirming that another passenger must have made use of the fact that foreigners in the U.S. are not asked to show their passports on domestic flights and had in this way used Kenfer's name.

The official Saudi source added that another Saudi suspect whose name was also included on the list of passengers who boarded the same United flight, Amir Bokhari - a Saudi Airlines pilot - had died two years ago during aviation training exercises.

Hm. Never heard of Kenfer or Bokhari. But obviously their name were indeed on the passenger manifest - or why would Kenfer bother to call Saudi airlines?

Seems to me that somehow some names on the passenger manifest of UA 175 have been omitted.

Why? Is there something to hide?

1. I thought we were already

being required to show ID before boarding flights even before Sept 11th. As I recall, it had started as a crackdown to keep passengers from using someone else's ticket.
