Trucking Student Arrested For Suspicious Behavior

Posted on December 13, 2006

A truck-driving student is in custody in Boston after raising suspicions when he wasnÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t interested in learning how to back up his rig.

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.

Doesn’t this sound familiar to those students wanting to learn how to fly with no interest in landing the plane? The student was a resident of New York and had driver’s licenses from New York, New Jersey and Rhode Island. Any of these indicators alone would be one thing, but a combination of all of them qualifies for common sense suspicion. It won’t surprise me to see CAIR or the ACLU pull out the race card on this.

Indeed. It was prudent for the instructors to alert the police. They’ll need a lot more evidence if they want to call this guy a terrorist, but it sounds like they just send him home if they want.
