New Fear: Terrorists could use dancing against us!

[Exterous]

You may have seen the video about an ultimate frisbee team getting the entire plane to dance but it seems the FAA is concerned terrorists could use this as a ruse - as apparently dancing renders our Sky Marshals dumbfounded!

A Harlem shake dance could also be used by terrorists to divert a crew's attention, the experts said.

"I think a federal air marshal might find that a bit confusing," Wallace said.

"You don't know what every person's intentions are," said Shook, the flight attendant.

It would be far safer to be in the hands of this retired guy's plane:

"If they're on my airplane, they're going to either sit down and fasten their seat belt, or I'm going to find a policeman to help them do it."

He would most likely wave a cane at them and yell at them about his lawn as well but at least everyone would be safe!

Oh well - its not like they asked for permission and checked with other passengers or anything....

The students said they had the approval of the flight crew, who let them use the plane's public address system to tell other passengers about their intentions.

Thankfully, the FAA has decided retaining funds to investigate things like this terrorist training video is more important than having enough air traffic controllers during the sequester

Seems plausible. I watched an episode of dancing with the start and I was terrified.

The wonderful thing about fear is that you don't have to have it yourself to suffer from it.
