London police removed two ‘suspicious’ men from a KLM flight to Amsterdam shortly before take off on Saturday night, broadcaster Nos said.
The broadcaster bases its claim on two Dutch eyewitnesses – a cameraman and journalist for television talk show Brandpunt – who were on board the plane.
They reported that the two ‘dark skinned’ men were wearing thick coats and refused to make contact with the cabin crew. ‘Other passengers also said they were making odd gestures,’ Roel van Hees said via Twitter.
The plane was taxiing for take off when the crew decided to abort the flight and head back to the terminal. There, police with sniffer dogs boarded the plane and removed the men. The plane was then allowed to take off.
KLM will only say that the flight was delayed because of an incident, Nos said. According to the Telegraaf, KLM has confirmed the delay was not due to a technical failure and that the crew sounded the alarm.
Lawsuit bait.
This will become an everyday event...

They will overwhelm the system and paralyze things if they want to.
It has nothing to do with Islam. /sarc
Airliners need an ejection seat that becomes operable above 10K.
Economic terrorism
Damned if you do, blown up if you don’t. I pick the former.
They need a HAL and a Pod Door.
Yep, this could become a big problem. Something this simple and it aint going away.
The “Flyin’ Imams” redux.
after the clockboy incident its amazing that anyone would single out dark skinned men acting odd...
Can you imagine all the confusion these two guys caused? And, they probably will not be charged with a crime. The enemy is playing with us. And the enemy has many agents.
Political Correctness at work.
I was thinking complimentary pork rinds on every flight.
Ejection seat, over the ocean, sharks and barracudas get a snack. Over land you need a hazmat unit where the bodies hit
they have been doing this since the mid 1980s at least.
it must get really, really tiring for airline companies and flight crews to deal with these @ss hats.
there are a lot of them. apparently they spend their evenings sitting at the kitchen table and trying to think up individual behaviors to get away with. once they get away with enough random behaviors, flight crews become intimidated towards stopping them from some other behavior.
all they need is enough wierd behaviour to distract the flight crews to sneak a box cutter or two on board. they are like ants, relentless.
the crews, in turn, quickly assess the non-strange passengers and make friends with time.(it seems to me, anyway). they keep certain passengers in mind, just in case any in-flight wierdness happens that seems to have the potential to blossom into a full blown emergency.
personally, i would tolerate these guys up until the midpoint of the flight, at which time there would be a brief but sudden incident involving a door and a passenger or two leaving without a chute. oops, it was the wierd behaving guys. maybe they were amish or something. lol.

Exactly. And it’s going to take off like a wild fire.
Yes. Prepare for the worst, hope for the best.
