The United Arab Emirates' Civil Aviation Authority has rejected claims that a US-bound Emirates' flight from Dubai contained "suspicious" parcels from Yemen.
Fighter jets were scrambled on Friday to accompany an Emirates plane into New York's JFK airport after a security alert, US media reported.
Emirati authorities, however, said flight 201 carried no 'suspicious' cargo from Yemen as claimed by US-Canadian military agency NORAD.
UAE officials rejected the claim and said the plane was not a source of threat.

I saw the live CNN coverage of Emirates Flight 201 landing.
Ironically right after they mentioned 'possible UPS, Federal Express package bomb' they cut to a commercial break where the sponsor was the US Post Office, who were advertising flat rate package delivery.edit on 30-10-2010 by In nothing we trust because: (no reason given)

This UAE flight has been picking at my brain. There's just something not right about how it all went down. All the other planes were dealt with a SOP for dealing with bombs and explosives. Plane contacted to land at the closest airport that accomodates the size of the plane and quarantine the plane out on the tarmac, keeping it far away to prevent further damage.Then the passangers are taken to safety and the bomb squad does there thing.
However this flight was let in Canadian airspace escorted by there F16 over there country into the U.S and then escorted by the Airforce to JFK airport. Instead of being quarantined and kept away from the flight terminal, the plane pulls right up to the terminal. This makes absolutely no sense for a plane that was supposed to be carrying explosives.
The only thing that would make any sense about it would be a false flag operation or there was 'someone' on the plane that either defected or was secretly in transit and the FEDS wanted.

I do think that terrorism is a credible threat, however I found this plan odd, and noted the timing of evidence of "security breach" coming out the week when British Airways CEO criticized the US security measures as being not needed and over the top.
Also the "parcels"...how where they meant to work? there was no timer? and had syringes for a manual chemical reaction, how is posting that to a synagogue and not to a "person" to start the explosive a credible threat?
I may have gotten the incorrect infomation on the packages granted.
Emirates are a major aviation player,that must adhere to strict international aviation measures in order to maintain their right of flight, Im not sure how they would plan on denying this, unless they can prove it wasnt on board their craft.

When, then, did he come?"-sherlock holmes
