Federal agents investigate after a disruption on an international flight from Chicago to Germany that was diverted to Cleveland.

CHICAGO (WBBM) – Some Chicagoans have quite a story to tell about a flight from O’Hare to Frankfort, Germany that was diverted Friday to Cleveland when a passenger was found hiding in the bathroom and went ballistic when he was confronted.

Joe Shulfer of Woodstock had his noise-cancelling headphones on and was sitting by himself on United Airlines Flight 944.

“The flight attendant just ran up to me and literally grabbed me by the shirt and said, ‘You need to come with me now,’” the passenger told Newsradio 780.

They came upon three men wrestling with another passenger who, Shulfer learned, had been in the restroom for 20 or 30 minutes and wouldn’t come out.

They handcuffed the suspicious passenger and tied up his feet, but he started spitting and swearing, Shulfer says.

Gee let's see:

Flight from U.S. to Frankfurt, Germany......

Could the unidentified "unruly passenger" be an Islamist?

Just saying.

Oh, never mind. Just thinking politically incorrectly again. Sarc.....

Germany says Islamic terrorism still a threat

By DAVID RISING, Associated Press – Jul 1, 2011

BERLIN (AP) — Germany's top security official said Friday that the terrorist threat to the country hasn't decreased and the number of radicals continues to grow, even with the death of Osama bin Laden.

So they had him bound and there were at least 3 of them. It should have been fairly easy at that point to educate the perp that spitting at them was a really bad idea.

Shulfer says he heard from United that the man had a boarding pass but wasn’t on the passenger list.

Gee, this is the second time that has happen in less than a month. Oh well, its just an oversight. People do make mistake.

A CBS reporter was informed by a passenger on board the United flight that the “unruly passenger” “spoke in a heavy foreign accent.”

He had a boarding pass but was not on the passenger list? How did he get on the plane???
Oh and he swallowed the duct tape? Was he on drugs? No demographics provided, unexpectedly.

I like the opening line of this story:

Some Chicagoans have quite a story to tell about a flight from O’Hare to Frankfort, Germany that was diverted Friday to Cleveland when a passenger was found hiding in the bathroom and went ballistic when he was confronted.

It's like one of those human-interest stories they'd put at the end of the evening news sometimes back when Walter Cronkite was on.

"A Witchita family got quite a surprise earlier today when they came home from vacation to find that a pair of kangaroos had made themselves at home in their carport."

Ha ha, oh boy, those whacky kangaroos. Just another slice of life in America today.

The flight was on the way to Germany, therefore, the man was a German. That explains the accent.

Lovely, now we know that the Amish have insiders inside United or German airport staff who are handing out boarding passes to fellow Amish.

Please note how the Big Dyke Janet got this story killed !
State controlled media does not like stories about unruly Amish !

So, click on CBS link, get no relevant information, let CBS load their c*** on your computer, waste more time trying to figure out what actually happened.... read posts until someone chimes in that knows what happened.... forget it, I think I’ll go to the coffee shop.

Great insight.
The Obama state media is now spinning these scary stories as cute little stories and no need to worry .
The Obama state media do not want to wake up the sheep by stating the Terrorist cells are now buried inside United and O'Hara airport, sweet dreams viewers

Ah, and where was the TSA? Manhandling another 90 year old lady??? Of maybe a little kid? Totally useless government agency.

Not totally useless. They suck upwards of $10 million a day out of the taxpayers, and since they're unionized, a few percent of that goes straight into Democrat campaign coffers.

My thoughts exactly - why did they just let him keep spitting?

Its harder to spit through a swollen face.

The story doesn’t mention whether he is native German or Muzzie German. Since the Leftists have scrubbed that info I’m willing to be he is a Muzzie.

This Muzzie was spending an inordinate amount of time in the lav which is a common theme with other jihadis doing dry runs on other flights in the USA.

They shouldn’t have tied him up, but instead beat him black and blue until he hurt so bad he couldn’t fight any more.

Americans are showing their resolve to stop these idiots which might be an indication of the re-masculinization of American men.
