This story is more than three hours old now with no recent updates. You'd think they would cancel the flight entirely if there were a terror threat to the airplane. It's possible the man in question was simply an ordinary criminal that UK authorities didn't want leaving the country.

Terror scare in London?
(posted by Barry N. Johnson)
This hasn't hit the news yet, but my brother-in-law is sitting on a plane in Heathrow Airport as we speak, and there is apparently some action going on. It seems his plane was stormed by agents with machine guns, who seized a Middle Eastern passenger from my brother-in-law's row and removed him from the plane.
This is happening as I type this. The wonders of modern technology. More to follow, no doubt....
UPDATE: The flight in question is British Airways flight 0215, from London to Boston.
UPDATE: Multiple passengers were removed from the plane by force. My brother-in-law is now off the plane as well, but he has been herded into some special area at Heathrow....
UPDATE: According to the BA website, the flight will be experiencing an "estimated" two-hour delay.... make that four....
According to the BA website, it looks like the plane finally took off, 5 hours and 1 minute late....
UPDATE: BA's not talking about it. They've given out a press contact number: (347) 418-4729 -- if anyone with press creds wants to take a shot at it. Something tells me the official statement, if any, won't be especially informative, however. (Hat tip: Janet)
