"The flight originated from London. No reason has been given yet for the investigation."

Some Frenchmen snuck on board. All flights with frogs should be checked out. I like the TSA taking these precautions.

"The flight landed at 7:06 p.m. Passengers have not been allowed to deplane."

Any dialogue? Some sort of contamination? Anyone enter the plane? Any indication of health screening being set up?

There have been many helicopters hovering around Dulles this week, and F-16 flights overhead, too. I got home from work at 9 pm and there have been helicopters hovering near the airport the entire time. Guess I'll turn on the idiot box. Thanks.

Thanks. Listening to the report now. Clerks tell them that luggage is being "super screened" as it comes off the plane. FBI and TSA will not give reason for investigation.

If I heard correctly from the Channel 5 report, TSA and FBI agents are on the plane interviewing passengers.

One passenger told someone waiting for him to go on home.

Wow.

Plane landed at 7:06 EST? Almost 3 and 1/2 hours ago.

Could be a lot of reasons. None good.
