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.

New Years just kinda took over here! As it should be.
Imagine the dismay over at Al-Qaeda cave headquaters tonight when they log into FreeRepublic hoping to read in breaking news, that their lastest plot has succeeded. But instead of seeing mayhem and panic as they check out the bottom of this thread, they see hokey Caddie Shack freeze frames.
Those jihadists never did have a good sense of humor, did they...

The great part is that the folks out doing the hard work tonight here in the states-- and in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere--don't begrudge us our freedom to indulge ourselves this New Year's Eve. They'd join in if they could. God bless 'em, and thanks. They are the best!

you're right, freereign! The liberals also don't have nearly as good as senses of humor. The two times I checked out DU, the first thing I looked for is humor. Nothing. Crickets.
If we have all celebrated, they all lose, don't they!

The whole quote:
Matthew 18:9
And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire.
Didn't you ever see the SF B movie about the man with x-ray eyes???

Happy new year and a great TDIDS to all

Figures... They get a little pissy about that whole "fighting in foreign wars" thing - it's ok for our government, but not for individuals. Hypocrites...
