A disruptive passenger forced a Newark-bound United Airlines flight to make a swift U-turn back to Las Vegas late Saturday night, grounding the cross-country trip until Sunday morning.
United Flight 1681 had just departed Harry Reid International Airport when the crew flagged "a potential security concern" in the cabin.
The Boeing 737, carrying 150 passengers and six crew members, safely touched back down in Vegas at roughly 11:05 p.m. without any reported injuries, several news outlets reported.

It was later determined that much of the passenger’s angst was caused by having to hear and read: Harry Reid Airport
“multiple attempts to breach the cockpit.”
I mean this needs to be looked into by the feds.....
