Here’s a strange story.
American Airlines orders passengers to put their hands on their heads for last hour of flight over ‘security threat’
“Passengers were ordered to put their hands on their heads for 45-60 minutes before landing,” Chris Nguyen, who was on the flight, wrote on Twitter. “Strangely, passengers were repeatedly told not to film on the plane.”
Flight 2289 departed from Los Angeles and landed in Miami on Wednesday afternoon. But about an hour before it landed, passengers say, the flight’s crew ordered them all to put their hands up, citing the unnamed security threat.
Once the plane was on the ground, Mr Nguyen says, armed police boarded the aircraft and made an arrest.
“Any idea why law enforcement came on with machine guns and arrested a guy on @AmericanAir Flight 2289 from LAX to MIA?” the customer asked local news station KTLA.
Call me cynical, but it must have been a Trump supporter.
He’s back and on GETTR..........

In case you didn’t hear, yesterday a judge dismissed the lawsuit against me and President Trump. The suit was over a meme that I made and Trump shared last June.
This lawsuit has been a dark shadow looming over everything I have done for the past year.
I AM FREE!

Looks like someone DID film the plane! More than one someone.
“Passengers were deplaned and bused to the terminal, and the aircraft was inspected,” American said.
Okay....now I'm thinking someone must have put a note about a bomb threat in the lavatory or something.
Glad I wasn't on that flight. Having arthritis in both shoulders, there's no way I could have kept my hands on my head for 45-50 minutes!
