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.

I'm still puzzled why this took 50% of the DC FBI force, as well as TSA unless someone somewhere thought something major was about to happen.

could be he was supposed to be on it, and got tipped at the last minute to abort or place his wife on the flight in his place. this is where we've got to get tough, if we really want this guy, and we have his real wife, well, let's play ball. start by sending her to gitmo.

That and they made the plane circle for an hour while they assembled their team of agents. There was nothing "routine" about this.

To kill, you must know your enemy, and in this case my enemy is a varmint.

I don't think they'd send that many people out there for just one person...but depends on how much questioning of the other passengers they needed to do.
I'm not sure how many agents half the force would be, but there are a lot of passengers on that airplane, and I don't think they want to keep them on the plane all night long...
