A Denver-bound United Airlines flight had to turn back and return to Dulles International Airport after an unruly passenger allegedly charged toward the cockpit.
According to multiple reports, the passenger was subdued by several passengers near first class before he made it to the cockpit, the Post reports. A Reddit user whose father was on the plane posted pictures and a video of the incident and says that the passenger in question "was screaming and sprinting towards the cockpit" before he was tackled and subdued by "several large passengers."
A government official with "direct knowledge of the incident" told CNN that the passenger was screaming "jihad, jihad" while charged toward the cockpit. The plane, which returned to Dulles shortly after it took off at 10:15 last night, had 33 passengers and six crew members on board.

I saw him on TV this morning. He’s lucky I wasn’t on the plane ... he looked way to good

From the article: “CNN reports that a preliminary background check of the man doesn’t [s]uggest he has a connection to terrorists.”
Sure, he’s not an organized jihadi. But it’s clear that Islam is a mental disease even worse than liberalism, and entrains the defectives who are susceptible to violent excitement.

So the NSA surveillance of absolutely every communication in the country didn’t catch him?
Why did we give up our 5th Amendment again?

Wouldn’t it have been better for our national security and more cost effective if all of them had been barred from ever entering the country?

LOL! I used to live near the University of Florida, and during the first Bush campaign, a political science professor ran up and attacked a cardboard cut-out of Bush we had standing in front of the GOP headquarters.
In the next election, another professor drove by and threw a brick through the windows of the GOP headquarters.
What the heck are the qualifications for these people?

I don't think I've been on a commercial flight in the last decade that had so few passengers.

Damn straight...
When it’s a choice between certain death by doing nothing, and potential death by attempting to stop the psychopath, well.. that’s an easy choice for sane, rational folk.
I’m glad to hear this kind of story.
