This one is interesting, flight from England to Chicago.
Maybe they caught another Peaceful Muslim.

Houston was not diverted. Part of a stick of dynamite was found by customs coming off a flight from Argentina.

What the hell is going on...

Um, Islam is attempting to conquer the world and force all those outside the Umma to submit to its will?

I think it's more likely that they're probing to determine how many flights tend to have air marshalls, how many air marshalls per flight, and what their procedures are. One or more Muslims on the plane pulls this stunt and gets arrested. Their partners keep a low profile, don't get involved, and simply watch and report back.

Just my hunch.

Still no news on this flight from England to Chicago.

Also, Fed Air Marshals tackled someone today, Oklahoma I think was destination, and no news on that either.

The Idiot caught with dynamite gos to college 5 miles from my house.

So far, no news on racial profile of these people.
Aboriginees from Australia? Kiwis from New Zealand?
Peaceful Muslims?

That sounds sickeningly possible. I swear, once I retire I will NEVER fly again.

I thought that if someone did something that caused a flight to be diverted, they were required to pay for the fuel, etc(it's over $250,000 I believe)......
Does anyone know if this is the still the law? If not, it should be, there must be some serious consequences for this.
