No, they were not treated fairly. I am not sure how that can be misconstrued to them somehow breaking the law.
2 :
It does not sound as if they were treated fairly. Keep in mind that the Washington Times is a biased conservative and somewhat trashy newspaper so I would not consider it fair and balanced (although it's not as bad as some newspapers)
3 :
No. True, they did not use good judgment-------but, they did nothing wrong. And, who knows the true story-different newspapers said different things. One said an Arabic speaking man turned them in because of their conversation-but, I only heard that once. Why wasn't it made well known? There were too many rumors (even by the newspapers) for us to make a call on it.
4 :
Give me a break - of course they should be tried! We live in a Post-911 world now and that sort of BEHAVIOR is not acceptable anymore. The PC crowd should wise-up and ask what they would want done if they were ont he same flight as suspicious acting Imans. I know I would either get off the flight or demand a more serious security check for them before boarding. Disrupting hundereds of passengers by this behavior is not acceptable. It is also not acceptable to yell 'Fire' in a crowded theater - this too is punishable by law.

Sure. Type "Phoenix to Grand Canyon Tours" in you browser, and you'll find several pages of tour operators offering tours from Phoenix to the Grand Canyon. Is you're asking about Greyhound, the closest it will take you is to Flagstaff.
2 :
Greyhound to Flagstaff, but you still have to get to the Grand Canyon. I agree with the first answer: Best to find a bus tour to Grand Canyon from Phoenix, or from Flagstaff.
3 :
you are not giving yourself enough time to get to your hotel, get sleep, clean up, catch bus to the canyon and be back the same day and not be exhausted. IT is a fair drive from PHX to the canyon; do NOT do it in 1 day. [re-phrased, allocate at least 3 days in PHX to visit the Canyon and still make connections to go out of state!![

1 :
Try not to change your normal sleep patterns, if you can help it. You don't want to arrive at your destination too tired to do anything. If you need to make an adjustment, do it after you arrive. It may be that you will feel like a nap, sometime during the day, or just a good night's sleep that evening.
2 :
Sleep at night so your awake at the airport, and the plane noises should make you sleepy anyways. so if you have an annoying person next to you, you can just start snoring.
3 :
I'd go to sleep late and wake up earlier than you wanted. Waiting there in the airport will make you tired enough to sleep on the plane without feeling to jet lagged when you arrive in Boston.
4 :
If I were you, I wouldn't disrupt your regular sleep routine. Get a good nights sleep, but if you feel like napping on the flight, go ahead and do so. No matter how much sleep I get the night before I have to travel, I always end up sleeping on the plane anyway!
5 :
Your flight is a short one. Don't do anything different. The time change will get you to bed at a decent hour and you can start your next day normally.
6 :
I would just follow normal routine regarding sleep, until your flight. If you want to fall asleep during the flight, maybe some typically hectic airport activity and luggage hauling would put you in a mood to sleep once you've finally seated in the plane.

Wanna hear some Funny In Flight Announcements

Wanna hear some Funny In Flight Announcements?
1. "As you exit the plane, please make sure to gather all of your belongings. Anything left behind will be distributed evenly among the flight attendants. Please do not leave children or spouses." 2. "Last one off the plane must clean it." 3. After landing: "Thank you for flying Delta Business Express. We hope you enjoyed giving us the business as much as we enjoyed taking you for a ride." 4. As the plane landed and was coming to a stop at Washington National, a lone voice came over the loudspeaker: "Whoa, big fella. Whoa!" 5. After a particularly rough landing during thunderstorms in Memphis, a flight attendant on a Northwest flight announced: "Please take care when opening the overhead compartments because, after a landing like that, sure as hell everything has shifted." 6. From a Southwest Airlines employee: "Welcome aboard Southwest Flight XXX to YYY. To operate your seatbelt, insert the metal tab into the buckle, and pull tight. It works just like every other seatbelt and if you don't know how to operate one, you probably shouldn't be out in public unsupervised. In the event of a sudden loss of cabin pressure, oxygen masks will descend from the ceiling. Stop screaming, grab the mask, and pull it over your face. If you have a small child travelling with you, secure your mask before assisting with theirs. If you are travelling with two small children, decide now which one you love more." 7. "Weather at our destination is 50 degrees with some broken clouds, but they'll try to have them fixed before we arrive. Thank you, and remember, nobody loves you or your money more than Southwest Airlines." 8. "Your seat cushions can be used for flotation. In the event of an emergency water landing, please take them with our compliments." 9. From a Southwest Airlines employee: "There may be 50 ways to leave your lover, but there are only four ways out of this airplane." 10. Pilot: "Folks, we have reached our cruising altitude now, so I am going to switch the seat belt sign off. Feel free to move about as you wish, but please stay inside the plane till we land. It's a bit cold outside, and if you walk on the wings it affects the flight pattern." 11. From the pilot during his welcome message: "We are pleased to have some of the best flight attendants in the industry. Unfortunately none of them are on this flight." 12. This was overheard on an American Airlines flight into Amarillo, Texas, on a particularly windy and bumpy day. During the final approach, the captain was really having to fight it. After an extremely hard landing, the flight attendant came on the PA and announced, "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Amarillo. Please remain in your seats with your seatbelts fastened while the captain taxis what's left of our airplane to the gate!" 13. Another flight attendant's comment on a less than perfect landing: "We ask you to please remain seated as Captain Kangaroo bounces us to the terminal." 14. An airline pilot wrote that on this particular flight he had hammered his ship into the runway really hard. The airline had a policy which required the first officer to stand at the door while the passengers exited, smile, and give them a, "Thanks for flying XYZ airline." He said that in light of his bad landing, he had a hard time looking the passengers in the eye, thinking that someone would have a smart comment. Finally, everyone had gotten off except for this little old lady walking with a cane. She said, "Sonny, did we land or were we shot down?" 15. After a real crusher of a landing in Phoenix, the flight attendant got on the PA and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, please remain in your seats until Captain Crash and the crew have brought the aircraft to a screeching halt up against the gate. And, once the tire smoke has cleared and the warning bells are silenced, we'll open the door and you can pick your way through the wreckage to the terminal." 16. Part of a flight attendant's arrival announcement: "We'd like to thank you folks for flying with us today. And, the next time you get the insane urge to go blasting through the skies in a pressurized metal tube, we hope you'll think of us here at US Airways."

A friend of mine had this experience. The old Stapleton airport in Denver was a hard place to land because of the winds in the mountains. My friend said that when landing there, in bad weather, the plane hit the ground and bounced back in the to come down hard again. When the plane was on the ground and taxing to the terminal the pilot came on with this comment "Ladies and gentlemen we have just landed at Denver's Stapleton airport, twice."
