Uh, if they still had 45-60 flight time left why didn't they land someplace else? Didn't want to tip off the arrestee? Like the hands on the head wasn't a tip off?

Hey, why not? The public is beyond stupid. It’s fun to make them do things for the heck of it. Ask Fauci.

Last line of the article is “Hands up! Don’t film!” Heh, heh.

This is another reason why I should probably avoid air travel...I’d be inclined to tell them to pound sand.

The passengers were stupid to put their hands on their head because the flight attendants didn’t first say SIMON SAYS when making the announcement!

Way I heard it on the radio this morning is that passengers were supposed to keep their hands above the heads (in view) and not video the activity.

Anyone else getting extremely tired of industries under heavily federal government control treating us like cattle?

They already got rid of the smoking section, so there’s no reason folks won’t accept getting rid of the “sit comfortably” section.

FBI involved? Of course it’s a cluster.

Probably figured a 1/6 demonstrator was there based on passenger data.

Anyone else not wanting to fly commercial anymore?

Gross violation of civil rights. The entire plane was not suspect or under arrest.

Who gave the order? Was there a bomb on the plane? I think the American public deserves to know much more than this, but especially those passengers.

I won't fly commercial anywhere anymore. I have a small 4 seat plane and fly myself, or when we don't want to plan and want to go on a vacation we charter a light twin.

Scheduled carriers have become a twisted entity. Between lawyers, federal bureaucracy, politics woven into operations, and TSA / HSA bullshite, I just won't do it.

Sure seems odd. They probably had a suspect but didn’t know who might be an accomplice. To what, I dunno.

When on a few international flights we were instructed to buckle up and open the window shades about 30 minutes before landing. I presume that was because the government was watching for potential hostiles. I didn’t take it personally, figured they did it for all incoming flights. But that wasn’t in the USA.
