British Airways Flight Detained at Dulles Airport, Passengers Being Quizzed by Security
Local Channel 5 | Wednesday, December 31, 2003 | Kristinn

Posted on 12/31/2003 7:11:32 PM PST by kristinn

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.

Apparently those with US passports questioned the least and were the first to be let go.

Apparently, there is some profiling going on... Good!

I wondered about that, too. Whatever it is, the Feds are acting as nervous as a cat in a room full of rocking chairs (or something like that.)
