Lutherans kickin it up again?

[rbosque]

They should have an airlock and an ejection seat for terrorists and jerks on all planes.

Schumer flies Airtrans?

[BreitbartSentMe]

Those darn Amish!!

[Dacula]

If someone were to do this on a flight that I was on, I would kick the ever-livin’ tar out of them.

[icwhatudo]

Start charging these drunks $120,000 for costs instead of just letting them go because they were “not terrorist related”

[Responsibility2nd]

Let me guess.

He hates Jews also.

I wonder if this is the same flight that Shep reported on an hour or so ago. In that case it was reported that a drunk passenger had locked himself in the restroom. They had a photo of LE hauling him away.

OK, looks like Cavuto was referencing this story; apparently a drunk passenger locked himself in the bathroom.

I’m flying that very same route in a couple of days, and I was just assuring my nervous elderly mother that nothing ever happens on the way from ATL to SF!

Oh well. Maybe this was just a passenger annoyed at not being able to read his Kindle in the last hour before landing...

[SumProVita]

I wonder if this “unruly” passenger is yelling hatred for the Jews too?

[RandallFlagg]

Those silly Jedi again!

It looks that way; apparently the new info is that fighter jets were scrambled.

[SumProVita]

You beat me! Internet is slow here (GoreBull warming and snow....).

[NormsRevenge]

Great. It’s gonna be one of those kind of years. a painski in the buttski..

[AbeKrieger]

I am placing myself on the won’t-fly list for 2010.

Lutherans kickin it up again?

You sure it isn't those pesky Jehovah's Witnesses again? They can be a very persistent lot...

[Frantzie]

Any Airtran flight going in or out of Atlanta is the ACORN/homeboy express. I flew it once and sat next to a rapper wanna be.
