As per CNN that all questions are to be directed to local TSA and authorities, presumably in Salt Lake City. The plane is an Airbus 380, left recently from LAX a security concern, (possible bomb threat) plan is being diverted to Salt Lake City, more in likely to disembark passengers and go through everything again. Everything is speculation at the moment.

Air France 55 from Dulles to Paris just landed in Halifax after being diverted there because of security concerns

Now TWO flights with Bomb Threats:

LAX to Paris diverted to SLC. This is an A-380 MonsterBus

Dulles to Paris diverted to Halifax.

Just as suspected. Two steps forward, one back.

They will keep doing crap like this in spurts, wait, strike, rinse repeat.

In the meantime we strip granny on the tarmac and pass laws against non muslims for hate crimes. They win through attrition. Lots of us called this after 9/11 and they have done exactly that. Slow and steady advance just as the Koran teaches.

Without a sane immigration policy it is IRRELEVANT how much any country spends on security, irrelevant how draconian they make their laws.

The ironic WOT country winner is JAPAN.

They have their crazies, but I guarantee you that Muzzies will NEVER be able to mount an attack there.

JUST KEEP THEM OUT —that’s the key.

2 Air France flights diverted

[a fool in paradise]

This ‘news’ was trending on Facebook Friday before the now well known terrorist attacks. The reports made it seem as if flights were being diverted ON Friday. I didn’t think about it until I was at the office today.

I know some stories don’t make it to FR as often as happened in the past but I didn’t see any thread on it looking back to 11/13/2015.

I see that one of the articles cites a humor publication. The rest consider it fact (including well established tech sites). HuffPoo most recently covered the story.

So was this an accident, a hoax/satire, or something deliberate (or cover excuse for something else)?

Computers Running Windows 3.1 Crash, Shutting Down Paris’ Orly Airport
Airlines & Airports | Rich Thomaselli | November 13, 2015

“We’re not quite sure if this is hysterical, sad, just plain frightening or a combination thereof.

Paris Orly International Airport was brought to a standstill and shut down on Saturday because of a computer glitch to its operating system – Windows 3.1.

Yep, the system that debuted in 1992 and came off the market in 2001, the system that introduced Minesweeper to the world, is still the main operating system of an airport in a major city that hosts 30 airlines and millions of passengers each year.

The issue came to light in an article published Wednesday in the French satirical weekly paper Le Canard Enchaîné (The Chained Duck), which was very much being serious this time when it reported the news...”

Some of the most important networks and systems today are woefully outdated. And that isn’t always a bad thing.

2 flights.

[WENDLE]

Anybody who flies in the next 90 days in a commercial flight is an idiot,in my opinion. Until we get these moslems contained in this country, our air flights are at risk. Stay home!! You don’t need to go.

With the Paris attacks fresh in everyone's mind, I would expect a slew of false threats because they will serve to cause a lot of disruptions. They can cry "wolf" for a while to mess things up and then strike again when the fervor to stop them cools again.

Rinse and repeat as required to keep us off balance.

If we were to do what France is doing - using intelligence that was available before the attacks - to conduct a lot of raids, I wonder how much weaponry we would find...
