Probably Hillary R. Clinton's private jet.
Go ahead and make fun of me - but last week I happened to be behind a very slow moving (15 mph) van with Manitoba plates down a country road 50 miles north of NYC, and couldn't help but notice the windows were completely covered with curtains and there was a hand-fashioned 3x6 wood box affixed to the back with a padlock on it. There were two of them, in fact. Maybe they were headed back to Manitoba for something.

Hmmm....a "secure" business type jet landed in Pakistan yesterday.
Supposedly, took on a "passenger"--guards were masked.
Supposedly, was taking the "passenger" to Amman, Jordan.
Jet was registered to Premier Executive Transport.
Curious.

They just added this on to the end of their breaking news article:
-------------------
Corey Allum, general manager of the Brandon Flying Club, could see the plane from his office.
"There's police pretty well everywhere," Allum said.
Allum, who has a radio in his office, could hear police communicating with the jet, asking someone on board questions.
No one asked the flying club to evacuate the airport but added he sent all of his staff home.

And another dramatic episode of the Great Anthrax Scare of Ought One goes into the history books......
To: Amerigomag
Where did they say "anthrax" in this article, or did you bother to read it?
To: golitely
Point well taken!

Air Traffic Controllers are especially alert these days, and it may be presumed the "squawking wrong" was likely informational, not a common, trivial mistake.
I hope it's not gonna develop into a hostage or threat situation.
