Maybe, just maybe they will treat them like any one else trying the

infiltrators into the stations.

They should be held with no bail on federal charges, and taken to
court. Let the network defend them and if necessary pay the fines and
let the bosses serve the time as accomplices for planning the jobs.

I agree with the "throw the book at them". They certainly would were
it some student or individual trying to show a weakness in the system.
Besides any terrorist could claim they were just trying to expose any
weaknesses.

Pulling out knives or weapons during a flight and acting in a threatening
manner is a good way to get yourself killed. I would rather destroy the
plane than let a terrorist have it. Once they start acting like terrorists,
they're done. Any terrorist could later claim that he is really a reporter.

Just like an NBC reporter, bringing a Leatherman tool to a gunfight.

You'd think they'd kneaux better than to mess with St. Louis rotor
jockies...

These fools apparently did not know that helicopter skyjacking has
already been tried in Saint Louis a few years ago. Apparently some
people there remember this.
A skyjacker pulled a gun on Allen Barklage and wanted him to land a
helicopter in a prison yard to make a pickup. Allen shot the
skyjacker dead.
How he did it is amazing since helicopters are an unstable beast and
will try to go inverted and kill you in short order as soon as you
turn loose of the cyclic.
I think that the judge should make an example out of these people and
their bosses so they do not try to skyjack an aircraft again. Just
because ther are the "PRESS" does not mean they are above the law.

You might express you outrage to this irresponsible act to
I did. Now to sit back and see their spin on the stupidity.

In spite of getting caught with their hands in the proverbial cookie jar,
NBC still felt the need to stir the pot. See their Aug. 13 article here titled:
"FBI: Al-Qaida could use helicopters, limos"
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/5626850/ .

Which offers the following flight of fancy: "...Helicopters might also be used
to spread chemical or biological agents in the ventilation systems of high-rise
buildings..."

They did not have the professional ethics or common decency to bother
mentioning the 100% relevant fact that they had tried to penetrate a helicopter
operation and failed miserably.

No polite term could possible describe my feelings for NBC right now. I
guess I will just have to settle for "****ing Lying Scumbags".

The media, not just NBC, quit simply reporting the news many years ago. They
are no longer content to simply report, they will stop at nothing to help
create the news when it suits their purpose. I was a personal witness to the
news media paying to instigate a race riot in Houston in the late sixties.
There are many additional examples if you just scratch the surface of our
"news" entertainment media.

I find it passing strange that I have seen/heard no reports of this
incident by any news agency except for the cite. Couldn't possibly be
that the media doesn't want to point fingers at other media??

Why do you find that strange? Fox does it indirectly, but it has not really
helped their credibility much and it invites retaliation from the other
networks. (Of course, it is hysterically funny that a comic strip like
"Doonesbury" will criticize Fox as being controlled by the Bush
administration. Makes you wonder who controls "Doonesbury.")

Not too strange, representatives of all the local media were present and knew
what was going on. A couple of the local anchors received national coverage
from the event and one went on to become a national anchor. Even when some in
the media are caught with their pants down, the other media will effectively
ignore or downplay the event. You will never see any media outlet do an
exposure on another media outfit. It just isn't done.
