How the imams terrorized an airliner
Muslim religious leaders removed from a Minneapolis flight last week
exhibited behavior associated with a security probe by terrorists and
were not merely engaged in prayers, according to witnesses, police
reports and aviation security officials.

Maybe you can explain how you switch seats on a full plane.

You keep asking that and referring to a website as proof it couldn't
happen. But there are multiple media reports that said it did.

Two people can still get up and swap.

The media reports that have indicated a passenger count have stated the
flight had 141 passengers, though I will listen if you have report link
to a news story stating otherwise.
Other data shows the plane used for this has 142 seats.

I understand. The terrorism threat level was increased because potential
terrorist #1 traded seats with potential terrorist #2.
That makes as much sense as statements that several of them had no
checked baggage and one way tickets.

Agreed. Who knew whether they checked baggage, or had one way or return
tickets when they started complaining anyway?

Actually it was because potential terrorist #1 sat in someone else's
seat.

Why are you so opposed to looking at the big picture? All of their
actions taken together?

That article never said the plane was full. Here is the only reference to
anything like that:

"The imams who claimed two first-class seats said their tickets were
upgraded. The gate agent told police that when the imams asked to be
upgraded, they were told no such seats were available. Nevertheless, the two
men were seated in first class when removed."

Because for more than five years, those have been two of the publicly listed
criteria for extra scrutiny for boarding airplane passengers.
