'Arabic Words’ Appearing on the Bellies of Southwest Planes

Southwest Airlines has increasingly been finding graffiti on the bellies of its planes and has now asked employees to keep an eye out for the culprits. What type of graffiti? According to ABC15 in Phoenix, sources say the markings are Arabic words, and another outlet reports the markings have been done using a chemical process.

“These unauthorized markings typically appear as symbols or words tagged on the exterior of the aircraft,” an internal memo by Southwest, and obtained by ABC15, says.

“We need our employees to be aware of a situation that is taking place,” the memo continues. “Beginning in February, we received reports of markings on our aircraft, and recently these reports have increased.” It goes on to say the markings appear “commonly on the engine and/or landing gear.”

Let's hope the translation doesn't read:

"Engine overdue for overhaul"  or

"Landing gear tires need replacement"

how the fu*k is that even possible, what kind of freaking security are we talking about where these planes are so easily tagged?

Well.....at many urban airports, baggage handlers and commissary delivery employees are often Arab immigrants.......while you and I are subjecting ourselves to a body cavity search just to get on a flight, those servicing the aircraft (in these rather menial jobs) are largely unsecured.  Further, the "flight line" is considered a secure zone anyway, so there is little real TSA activity there.

Airport security is a joke......designed to hoodwink the public into believing that the government is actually "taking action" to keep us safe.

The notion that the TSA is "keeping us all safe from the boogie man" is laughable when we have a two thousand mile long border left virtually wide open and anyone can literally walk right in whenever they please.

The gate rape circus that the American public is subject to in our airports is designed to do one thing, condition the public to accept any level of humility and subjugation without complaining. Doubt this? Why then are the only people given a pass and not subject to the groping and scanning the ones who are wearing burkas?

If our government were truly concerned about keeping us safe from terrorists our borders would be manned with our troops so that not so much as a lizard could slither across without being detected. Honestly, would it be so hard for a terrorist cell to enter the U.S. through the southern border and at their leisure pick a soft unguarded target such as an elementary school playground? Why should they bother even going anywhere near an airport?

With the supposed bubble of hyper security surrounding our airports this Arabic writing on planes thing could only be an inside job. 44,000 government TSA AFGE union employees have plenty of reason to pull such shenanigans in the face of so much talk of disbanding the TSA and privatizing airport security. Inside job, false flag, whatever you want to call it I think the odds of this being actual terrorist activity are slim to none.

Yeah the TSA is a joke. The TSA is so lazy and unproductive its not a surprise that this is happening. Furthermore If I was Southwest Id put some serious Pressure on TSA to ensure the saftey of their Aircraft. They can do this by not allowing Jihadist to mark Shoot here on their engines.  :thatsright:
