Atlanta to Houston Flight Dry Run For Another 911

I was reluctant to report this because it was somehow relegated, very effectively, to Urban Legend status. Forwarded email purports to convey an eyewitness account of a Muslim terrorist ‘dry run’ aboard AirTran Airways Flight 297 from Atlanta to Houston on November 17, 2009.
This is not being covered in the Obama Press and there appears to be something here that merits further investigation. How it managed to get to Urban Legend so quickly makes me think someone wants to keep this quiet.
I post it here for your consumption, you will have to decide whether it is a legitimate incident or urban legend.
What’s amazing is that some one posts a single e-mail that is able to kill the story - see Atlanta Journal-Constitution - AirTran ‘hero’ wasn’t on plane, airline says
