Posted by Orin Kerr: "Terror in the Skies," Three Years Later: http://volokh.com/archives/archive_2007_05_27-2007_06_02.shtml#1180569061
Three years ago, [1]a lot of bloggers were discussing Annie Jacobson's story about being on a flight involving an apparent terrorist "dry run." (It's no longer online, but it's now in [2]book form. [3]Snopes has a summary.) After awhile, the consensus was that it was all a false alarm; it looked like the group was [4]just a music band, and Jacobsen had [5]overreacted. Recently, the Department of Homeland Security released a version of [6]its 2006 Inspector General report about the flight. If I read the report correctly, it confirms a lot of the suspicious behavior that Jacobson had reported (while not suggesting that the group actually had any evil plans). It's worth checking out if you wanted a follow-up to the Jacobson story.
