It’s a good question. I’m glad someone finally posted a thread about this, thank you!
According to other news sources, besides refusing to store his duffel bag, the man passed a note to a flight attendant to give to the Captain. The Captain said the note contained disturbing threats. The name of the man hasn’t been released (making me wonder about ROP connections). For the life of me, I can’t figure out HOW a person could board an airline, do these things, prompting NORAD to send two F-15 fighter jets to escort the plane back to Portland airport, and that man is walking around free as I type this. Something about this sure doesn’t make sense.
And yet the secret service is investigating who hung an effigy of Barry Soetero- God help the perp who hung up a dummy of the dummy
Yet people who threaten airliners that have to return under military jet escort- go FREE???
