D.C. Fox affiliate WTTG-5 reported a few minutes ago that British Airways flight 223 has been detained on the tarmac at Dulles Airport, Virginia, just outside Washington, D.C.
The flight landed at 7:06 p.m. Passengers have not been allowed to deplane. Some family members waiting at the terminal were able to speak with some of the passengers via cellphone. They were told TSA and other security personnell are interviewing passengers and inspecting luggage.
Over two hundred passengers and crew are on the plane.
More to follow as reported. Please forgive any errors as this just caught my ear.

Ah yes, I'm sure they were all asked, "Did you pack your luggage yourself? Has your luggage been with you at all times? Who's buried in Grant's Tomb.....?"

Someone must have snuk some nail-clippers on board.

could be anything, could be the people themselves, maybe they are moving operatives into the US and we had a tip that some of them are on this flight.

Put them all back on the plane and fly it immediately to the Cuba detention base!

You know, those wads come down eventually, too.

I bet their luggage is going to look a little odd when this is all done.

Very strange, huh. Hugh and possible terrorism.
Man, Hugh is so pathetic looking. Prime example of an older man who is looking ridiculous.

"
Let's hope the only reason 50% responded is because the powers that be kept the other 50% in reserve in case this was a diversion."
You got that right...

I don't think helium burns that good,hydrogen is of course another matter.Now you take a large bag of helium and a smaller bag of Oxy/acy, tie the two together and you have a nice aerial display.

At least Fox is covering it a little. Nothing seen on CNN or MSNBC in a quick cable surf.
