Remember how the 9/11 hijackers only wanted to learn to fly planes, but not land them? Now we have terrorists who want to learn how to drive tractor trailer trucks, but don't want to learn how to back them up.
WLVI-TV (Ch. 56) reported last night that the would-be trucker is a 28-year-old Muslim from India and had overstayed his visa. An investigation is under way to see whether there is any connection between his unusual behavior and a terrorism plot. Federal authorities were alerted by instructors at the Nationwide Tractor Trailer Driving School in Smithfield, R.I., WLVI reported.
The student was described as a resident of New York, with driver’s licenses from New York, New Jersey and Rhode Island.
“Every indicator was there,” R.I. State Police Major Steve O’Donnell told WLVI. “Any one of these things alone is fine, but four or five together . . . ” source
I wonder how many friends this Muslim would-be terrorist has scattered across the United States trying to do the same thing?
We have to get serious about this kind of potential terrorist. Rick Santorum understands the enemy. In his Farewell speech he proves that once again. Read the full text here or listen to audio here.

It is an undeniable privilege of every man to prove himself right in the thesis that the world is his enemy; for if he reiterates it frequently enough and makes it the background of his conduct he is bound eventually to be right.

I'm glad this is being taken seriously...of course, if he turns out to be innocent (or their isn't enough evidence against him), many will cry foul and make accusations of racism and racial profiling, etc..
