Probably some moron exercising his 'freedom of speech'.

[beyond the sea]

Shep is starting to ramp up the consternation

LOL.......

[GaltMeister]

Those aren't terrorists! Those are insurgents! Get with the program, Norm!

In DUmmie land they would be called 'freedom fighters'.

[hoosierboy]

I have plenty of stories to tell if I ever get to retire.

[YoshiBear]

watch - the lone nut theory will continue to be developed throughout the afternoon

[Petronski]

Maybe he had some belly bombs from White Castle . . .

[Hank Rearden]

Maybe he saw his friend Jack and said, "Hi, Jack."

I actually got into a bit of a hassle years ago when I met my boss at a terminal gate for a flight we were taking.

You can guess my boss's name.

They need to include a scenario like this in the pre-flight instructional video.

"...you seat cushion can be used as a floatation device...

... and here's what NOT to say when boarding the plane:

(a bullet list appears on screen)

"I have a bomb" (ting!)

"Allah Akhbar" (ting!)

"Boy, I can't wait to forcibly visit the cockpit when we reach cruising altitude" (ting!)

"Mohammad - hold muh' other shoe" (ting!)

"If you're overheard using any of these phrases in flight, you may be shot at close range."

(as a video re-enactment of air marshals in action proceeds)

[ninergold3]

WFOR - says suspect is dead. ;)

[silentknight]

Fox now confirms the guy was killed.

[SE Mom]

Thanks- just got back from shopping...walked in and saw Shep. He's trying hard to make this an LA freeway car chase...LOL.

Drugs? Terrorists?

BREAKING- SUSPECT HAS BEEN KILLED

[beyond the sea]

Shep already said that the marshal "opened fire"

.... and closed fire.

[PISANO]

Has anyone noticed that news reporting is slanting the coverage to a possible over-reaction by the air marshall?

[nuffsenuff]

It is not terrorism "related" but the guy said he had a bomb?

Are they trying to say the guy wasn't a Muslim?

Hey Jennifer, bombs on airplanes is TERRORISM no matter who does it.

[tiredoflaundry]

If this flight was on it's way to Orlando, there must have been a bunch of little kids on it.

[HardStarboard]

>>>CBS4's Jennifer Santiago reports a source tells her that this incident was not terrorism related, that a passenger aboard the plane announced that he had a bomb.<<<

How a reporter could link those two statements in a single sentence, without laughing herself off the air, is beyond me.

[samadams2000]

Thats it!.

[hispanarepublicana]

...this incident was not terrorism related, that a passenger aboard the plane announced that he had a bomb... Whhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhat?

Was the perp from Norman, Oklahoma, by any chance?

[tiredoflaundry]

yup
