Alert readers have reported that their flight, United Airlines 3681, from St. Louis to Washington Dulles had to make an emergency return to the gate as it prepared for take-off.
According to local officials, it was found that two men who had boarded the plane as ‘federal air marshals’ didn’t have the proper credentials.
Passengers were deplaned, all luggage was removed and re-scanned. All passengers were also re-screened. Passengers are now in the process of re-boarding. There is no word on the two ‘air marshals.’
BigGovernment has contacted security officials in St. Louis. Ron Meyer, of Young America Foundation, was aboard the flight and granted an exclusive interview to Breitbart.tv.
Interestingly, we understand that Oliver North is on the flight, as well. Developing…

.. Ping!
Can’t wait to find out more about those POSs.
Agreed ... also no confirmation located of incident. Did it happen; other than unconfirmed report of it happened?
BREAKING: Two Men Falsely Claim to Be ‘Air Marshals’ on DC-bound Flight
Appears to be BS. Nobody else has picked up the story. The original story has not been updated, even though the flight landed at IAD over two hours ago.
I see nothing at fox2now.com, kmov.com, ksdk.com, kplr11.com or stltoday.com - surely someone would be on top of it.
That's nothing. I heard some guy of questionable patrimony and Marxist ideology got on Air Force One the other day and claimed to be President of the United States.
Yeah, and those of us who said somebody should check his qualifications were immediately called extremist, lunatic conspiracy theorists by everybody including the so-called “conservative heroes”.
TESTING .. 1 .. 2 ... 3
Now that is rich. I got a good chortle from that line.
Dude, Google “phony air marshalls” and this thread is the VERY FIRST on Google..
Thinking that over half the country is asleep. Could be nobody can confirm or deny. Saw the comment of local officials (unnamed). Heard the passenger comments (named). Not seeing updates, as was stated in your post. If something happened, and is not being reported or updated, did it happen or is there a reason not to report? Just do not have a clue on this one. Unknown is all can come up with.
The only way the government would approve of us knowing about this is if the phony air marshals were Americans.
Hmmm .. it’s from Breitbart, seemingly reputable source. Townhall reported on it

9:44 pm Plane has been cleared for take-off.
Ron Meyer interview on the scene:
Video not found
9:25 p.m. Security officials haven’t returned phone calls at this point to comment.
8:26 p.m. Oliver North was flying first class on this flight.
8:17 p.m. There are now unconfirmed reports from St. Louis that F-16 fighter jets are in the area.
7:50 p.m. Young America’s Foundation Program Officer Ron Meyer was aboard United (corrected, previously wrote U.S. Airways) Flight 3681 going from St. Louis to Dulles Airport near Washington D.C. and has informed me the plane was forced to land 10 minutes ago after two men stood up on the plane and declared they were Federal Air Marshals. The men were then asked for paperwork to prove the claim, and when it couldn’t be produced, the plane made an emergency landing. Passengers are being forced to deplane, all luggage is being checked again and all passengers must be checked back in.
Breitbart’s video is still up

Hey Max .. I’m not a dude, dude.
Hot Air also picked it up.
“Alert readers have reported that their flight, United Airlines 3681, from St. Louis to Washington Dulles had to make an emergency return to the gate as it prepared for take-off.”
Heh. Seems that even their “half-asleep readers” would have noticed it too. ;)
