MyFoxDetroit.com - Sources tell Fox 2 that a flight from Amsterdam into Detroit Metropolitan Airport was held on the tarmac after landing because of unruly behavior by some of the passengers.

The source says four men, thought to be of middle eastern descent, acted out in such a way that it forced the plane's pilots to stop it short of the terminal. The men were removed from the plane while it was parked at the tarmac, away from the aiport's passnger terminal.

Once the men were removed, the rest of passengers were then taken to the terminal for deboarding.

Fox 2 has a crew at Metro Airport and more information will be posted as soon as it becomes available

Perhaps. But just maybe... trying to distract us and consume our finite intelligence resources while planning something very, very different.

Fox News National reports only one passenger and he was not a threat. Move Along Nothing To See Here!

[Fast Moving Angel]

Yup ... test run.

Those crazy Amish, will they ever leave us alone

[votemout]

Sice he was not a threat I guess he just asked to be let off short of the terminal.

[TADSLOS]

Could be a diversion, I suppose.

I should try this if I want to get off the plane first....

I was about to post the same idea.

All this probing is really starting to get to me. My husband is on airplanes every week for his job. I just wish we had private screeners or people trained like the customs agents at the Canadian/US borders. They know what they are doing.

TLS....I would agree with you...something big may be on the horizon.

Dry Run.
