Here we go again.

[LikeLight]

Wow . . . somebody is seriously concerned about something here . . . this is getting very intriguing . . .

[MEG33]

Sounds like they are taking this " chatter" very seriously!

[nopardons]

I wish they'd explain, atger is okay too, what's going on. Is there ANY news, at all, as to what happened re the other one ?

[leadpenny]

Looking for another drunk TSA official no doubt.

[Ex-Dem]

Again? At least this one isn't another Flight 223. I think we've had two of those stopped in as many days.

[Iowa Granny]

I wish someone could tell us if they are give particular attention to certain passengers or if everyone is going thru the same routine.

Do they need to employee new screeners? Are these people not doing their jobs?

Is the news media asking these questions? There really should be an explaination as to why the inspections weren't done properly the first time. We have no control over what happens in other nations, so I have no problem with the extra screening which occurred last night. But this is goofy. If our baggage screeners were doing their jobs properly, a second screening shouldn't be necessary.

Makes me wonder if they are playing games with the departure schedule for some other reason.

[RaceBannon]

Kewel!

[nwctwx]

This certainly gets more and more interesting with time...

[leadpenny]

Here's a side problem with these delays: The flight crews will start to bump up against crew-rest restrictions.

[browardchad]

Is the same plane that came in last night? If so, they might suspect some sort of transfer occuring on the planes themselves -- something that screening machines wouldn't pick up and regular cleaning might not find. Or maybe they've already found that something, and are trying to find the intended recipient...

[nicmarlo]

Wow...there is something definitely going on....this is very abnormal....it's like they know something, and they're thisclose to knowing exactly what they need to know....

[lchoro]

Passenger David Litwick told WJLA-TV in Washington that he and his wife were not questioned, but at least one other passenger was. Litwick said four FBI agents spoke to a woman who appeared to be from the Middle East, repeatedly asking her why she was not traveling with her husband.

No one is telling Matt Drudge anything either. If they are, he ain't telling us.

Cancellations/delays due to terrorist concerns

BA 216 held because of a non-specific threat

That's all they said.

[Diver Dave]

Wow! Another one.
Our daughter, s-i-l and grandson flew into San Francisco this afternoon aboard a BA flight.
She figured that it would be a safe flight given the fact that the route took them over Canada. What's Canada got worth attacking? :)
Then, San Francisco is safe from terrorists cuz it can't get screwed up any worse than what the libs and gays have already created.

[af_vet_1981]

This is good. They are doing their best to prevent terrorist attacks.

Mexican flight denied clearance to fly to LA
Reuters

MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - An Aeromexico flight to Los Angeles from Mexico City was canceled on New Year's Eve when officials citing security reasons said it would not be allowed to land, Mexican officials said Thursday.

Aeromexico Flight 490 was originally scheduled to take off in the late afternoon Wednesday but it was stopped after a call from U.S. Homeland Security officials, Agustin Gutierrez Canet, a spokesman for the Mexican president's office, told Reuters.

"The flight was canceled and the 40 passengers that were programmed to fly took another later flight on Mexicana," he said.
