Gov. Christie reportedly threatened on plane bound for Boston
MyFox25Boston ^ | 11-20-2015 | Fox25

A United Flight bound for Boston was delayed nearly four hours after a passenger reportedly threatened New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who was on the plane.

United Airlines Flight 1108 was supposed to take off from San Francisco at 8:32 a.m. and everyone was on the plane, preparing for takeoff. The plane was on the runway when the pilot announced they were returning to the gate for “operational difficulties."

A FOX25 employee's family member was aboard the plane and told FOX25 that the plane returned to the gate and they kept everyone on the plane for about 45 minutes. Then passengers were taken off five at a time to be checked.

The family member said someone said something to Christie, which led to the deplaning. Every person was individually searched and some were cotton swabbed.

They don’t like the big man. After Trump and Cruz, Christie has been the loudest.

Did he take up a second seat someone else had paid for?

I wonder what the threat was.

Can you image having to sit on a plane next to Christie.

Actually my question is how many Mohammeds does the threatener have in his name; 1, 2, or 3

Christie threatened to cut off all Muslim immigration, even children.

Wouldn’t it be ironic if the threatener was Muslim?

Would the Media ever report it?

The Media would lie about it. They would probably say he was threatened by some white heterosexual Christian guy.

Funny how the other candidates have been converted on immigration since Trump has been kicking their heinies for months.

Unrelated but Noisy Christie exits Amtrak 'quiet car' after complaints

just before the train departed, Christie boarded behind "two men who appeared to be Secret Service agents" -- though that's unlikely, since Christie doesn't yet have Secret Service detail; his staff said he traveled Sunday with one New Jersey state trooper -- and was "yelling at them about some sort of mixup with the seating arrangements and how they had let it happen."

I believe this was proven totally false. But yet it lives on because the media sucks.

Mark my words: Before the election, there will be a kinetic candidate removal, as in 1968.

Mediate.com has more details... the most important being that the passenger who tweeted the report of the threat is now changing his story:
" Passengers Say Christie Was Threatened on Boston-Bound Flight, Campaign Denies It"
The mediate.com article includes that passenger's tweets:
David Berlind ‎@dberlind More #united1108 #ChrisCristie details: He wasn't threatened He saw a guy taking pics of crew & emailing them in Arabic (said his seatmate) 3:18 PM - 20 Nov 2015

David Berlind ‎@dberlind Passenger threatened #ChrisChristie on my flight just before take off... had to taxi all the way back. They made us deplane. Total #fail. 2:42 PM - 20 Nov 2015

Then again, maybe the passenger removed tried to take Christie's peanuts.

I’d want him off the plane too. By FAA REGULATIONS, airlines have to assume each person weighs a certain amount. By being as far offscale-high as he is, there is a good chance that the plane could stall or otherwise wind up in a nosedive, since the design and structure of the airplane does not account for such a high density-load in one spot. On top of that is the concern as to whether the pressurization and climate control system can handle the all of the hot air being dumped into the cabin when he speaks.

Can’t see how the charges can stick.
