It's a go

Gracious people.  Sometimes, enough is just too much already.  I am aware that the job of policing the safety of our nation falls into the hands of people who are not always equipped with the capabilities to handle every situation but when will we ever remember we have the greatest gift for figuring out such hard problems.  It's called common sense.  I know.  I know.  What use is common sense when the computer answers all of our questions?  Well... common sense would be the perfect tool in the human toolbox of skills to solve a problem that faced a naieve little stewardess on a Southwest flight recently.  When one of her passengers took her seat, a college graduate student named Irum Abbasi, the flight attendant made sure to take notice.  You see, with her headscarf on full display, this made Irum quite "suspcious". Her airport adventure had already taken her through secondary screening as per the mandatory Arab randomly selected process but this would never, could never be enough.  So, the flight attendant had her eye on Irum.  Making sure she didn't make any sudden moves.  And, of course, like any Arab highjacker in the movies is likely to do, as the plane was getting ready to dislodge from the terminal and embark on its mission into the sky (good luck with that run-on) she made her move.  The pilot began his script. Everyone began shutting their electronics down.  Irum, into her cell phone, tells her cohorts in Islam "It's a go." But lucky for all of us, that Southwest Airlines stewardess was prepared and kicked that little terrorist off the plane.  USA! USA! Except, the girl said, "I've got to go" since the motherfucking plane was about to take off and now she is suing the airline.  USA!?!
