A plane was stopped from taking off from Los Angeles International Airport, and two men on board were taken into custody, according to the Los Angeles Police Department. LAPD Lt. John Romero said the men, who appeared to be of Middle Eastern descent, were acting suspiciously. A law enforcement source said at least one of the men ran into a restroom on the plane and appeared to hide while the New York-bound jet was taxiing on the runway, according to the source, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the case was ongoing. The flight crew confronted the two men and made the decision to stop the plane before it took off, the source said. The men were taken into custody by heavily armed law enforcement officials. The plane has been taken to a remote area of the airport to be searched by a bomb squad, sources said. The LAPD's anti-terrorism unit and the FBI are on the case, but the source said it's too early to tell whether terrorism played any role in the incident. FBI spokeswoman Laura Eimiller said that she was aware of only one person being detained for questioning after the person failed to comply with airline safety regulations and directions of the crew.

"3) Just an idiot" Good thing that's not a crime. Otherwise, we'd have plenty of empty office space at the Capital building.

Maybe it’s there and I just can’t see it. When did this happen? Today? Yesterday? Last week? A year ago? Either I’m blind or you’re an idiot.

With all the dem/nobama peeing on the CIA, I’m thinking these “broken terrorist plots” are a ruse by nobama gubmint to make the sheeple think nobama is really on the ball.
