Minn. Terrorism suspect granted class-A truck driving license. Would also like to drive school buses.

Semis and school busses. What could go wrong?

I don't even really know what to say about this.  Is it insane? Yes.  Is it further evidence that this country isn't really interested in dealing with the threat of homegrown radical Islam? Yes. Is it a painfully obvious recipe for disaster? You bet.

However, according to FOX 9 Minneapolis, it's also the truth. A man whose name appears on the no-fly list thanks to his efforts to radicalize young people has been given a Class-A commercial driver's license.  That allows him to drive large semi-trucks that he can fill with whatever totally legal items he pleases.

...Oh and he'd like to drive school busses too:

 A Minnesota man, who Homeland Security identifies as a terror suspect who is on the “No Fly” list, now has his Class A commercial license, which will allow him to drive semi-trucks.

The FOX 9 Investigators revealed last May that Amir Meshal was attempting to get his Class A license from a South St. Paul Truck Driving School. The $4,000 tuition was paid for through the state workforce program. 

The Minnesota Department of Public Safety confirms he was granted the license after passing a road test on August 8. A spokesperson said Meshal has also applied for a school bus endorsement, pending the outcome of a criminal background check.

Since they wouldn't want you thinking Amir Meshal's status as a terrorist threat is some kind of error, the Department of Homeland security is bluntly claiming he really is a danger to himself and others. They've made it clear that he's completely capable of committing a violent terrorist act, and they're worried he might attack the nation's government or its civil aviation interests.

In May 2014, Meshal was removed from a Bloomington, Minn. mosque, Al Farooq, after he was suspected of radicalizing young people who would later travel to Syria. According to the police report, religious leaders said, “We have concerns about Meshal interacting with our youth.”  Meshal had previously been asked to leave an Eden Prairie, Minn. mosque for similar reasons.

The ACLU recently sued TSA and Homeland Security to have Meshal removed from the “No Fly” list.  But Homeland Security responded in a letter obtained by the FOX 9 Investigators that Meshal, “..may be a threat to civil aviation or national security,” adding that, “It has been determined that you (Amir Meshal) are an individual who represents a threat of engaging in or conducting a violent act of terrorism and who is operationally capable of doing so.”

In 2007, Meshal, a U.S. citizen of Egyptian descent, was arrested in Kenya by the FBI, suspected of leaving a terror training camp in Somalia.

So, good news, Minnesotans! This guy can't get on a plane, but he will soon have access to large, empty, containers on wheels. Heck, he might even be taking your kids to school.

Please, someone tell me again how we're taking the domestic terrorist threat seriously.
