A Troubling Story From Florida

Michelle Malkin has the strange story of two Saudi men arrested and held without bail after taking a mysterious ride on a schoolbus full of children in Florida on Friday.

The men initially lied to authorities that they were from Morocco, but they were actually from Saudi Arabia. They also gave authorities different stories about why they had boarded the bus. One of the men was wearing shorts under a black trenchcoat.

The bus driver, a substitute on the route, became concerned and contacted the district.

Perhaps there is a reasonable explanation, but this incident serves as a stark reminder that this is a post-9/11 world with scary possibilities.

Tuesday Update: The men have been released. Nonetheless, this incident should serve as a wake-up call for school districts everywhere.
