Anyone seen this in the media?
Raleigh-Durham Airport Terrorist Threat from Little Green Footballs
“Two airline passengers were arrested at Raleigh-Durham International Airport earlier tonight after causing what airport spokeswoman Colleen Fischvogt has just confirmed with me was a “serious incident on American Eagle Flight 518 from Jacksonville.” Local news station WRAL reports, “the disturbance was classified as a terrorist threat.”
In a telephone interview, Fischvogt also told me, “we received word from the pilot about the suspicious activity before the flight landed.” Fischvogt explained that when Flight 518 landed, it sat on the tarmac for 45 minutes before FBI “took jurisdiction,” boarded the plane and arrested two people. DHS and local law enforcement were also present on the tarmac but “FBI took over the sight and the situation,” Fischvogt said.
But what were the passengers doing, I asked Fischvogt?
“Using their cell phones to call people in the terminals and call the news media,” Fischvogt said.
I asked Fischvogt the ethnicity of the two passengers who were arrested: “one report says ‘of Middle Eastern descent’ but I personally can not confirm that,” she said.”
It took 45 minutes …. leaving these people on the airplane with terrorists for the FBI to act …… Great.
