Count me among those who say that this kind of claim from a person would NOT be taken more seriously now. I base my opinion on my conclusion that the USA is terminally infected with Political Correctness Leftism.

Why would you say that? It would seem easy to confirm or disprove if a reporter went to the airline and asked if Woods had discussed the issue with their personnel after the flight.

James Woods was racial profiling before it was cool. He really is a human genius.

Well aren't you just a stupid treehead.
Snopes would LOVE to be on your side here. But...
Even Snopes admits James Woods was on the flight
This happened when he landed in LA.
quote:
They only sat upright in their seats, occasionally conversing with each other in low tones. Woods mentioned what he had noticed to a flight attendant, “who shrugged it off.” Arriving in Los Angeles, Woods told airport authorities, but they “seemed unwilling to become involved.”

Islam teaches that Allah will close the eyes of the Infidels so they cannot see the approach of the Muhajideen's avenging sword. This explains your willful ignorance.
Praise be to Almighty God. The Unbelievers will fall to Hell like Autumn leaves from a tree.

now I wonder if anyone would even report this, with the fear of being labeled a racist. Especially a celebrity.

Doubt it, they were notified prior to that kid shooting up the school in Florida on Valentine’s Day and did frick all to prevent it.

none of them had anything to eat or drink, nor did they read, sleep, or appear to make themselves comfortable. They sat erect in their seats and stared straight ahead, saying nothing to flight attendants and speaking to each other only in inaudible tones.
Their actions may be weird, but before 9/11 I don't see why it would be that suspicious for some middle eastern men to keep to themselves on a flight

The flight now appears to have been a dry run for the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks on New York City and Washington
What exactly was their to "dry run"? Did they see if they could get the box cutters on board with them? Why risk having to get away with this twice instead of just on the actual date. If anyone got caught on the "dry run" it could have lead to investigation that unraveled the whole thing. I just don't see why they would risk a dry run and not just go all in on the planned day.

Maybe to:
figure out a time frame of when to begin on the flight.
learn the habits/process of a flight crew on that flight.
figure out what seats might be best in which to stage themselves to best control the plane.
and, yes, potentially to see if they could carry the boxcutters on with no issue.
Practice is important for just about anything one tries to do.

I'm sure they had several other people ready to carry out the act with a few different plans in place.
If they got caught in he dry run they would just do it right after with some other people that knew what was going on.

Unless these guys were already on a watch list, not sure what authorities could have done about the info from Woods.
They were acting strange by doing nothing? They didn't eat? Didn't talk to the flight attendant? I agree that's a little odd, but I'd bet they'd need more to go on to be watching out for these guys. Not sure how it was back then, but I'd imagine you'd get hit with a discrimiation suit quickly if you focus on these guys simply because they're middle eastern and acted weird.
Woods did the right thing, I'll agree with that.
It's a tragic tale for sure. I would have never guessed they would have gone on a "dry run" to scout out these flights.
