CNN's Kelly Arena reports that one man is being held by Maryland State Police at an airport in Frederick, MD. The police are waiting for federal authorities to arrive on the scene.

The man is said to be the pilot of the small aircraft that triggered an evacuation of government buildings in downtown Washington when he reportedly violated restricted airspace.

Frederick, MD. is located about an hour northwest of Washington, D.C. along the I-270 corridor.

Was he recently depressed from a course of Accutane? WTF?

Here are the first mugshots of the perp:

Well, maybe not...

[pa mom]

THAT would be a great tagline.

[kristinn]

That's an assumption at this point. Likely, but not certain yet.

[pa mom]

That would explain why he didn't have a free hand to answer the radio . . .

I think they should name the whole region Iraqipakiganistan.

Or maybe just call it "Irate".

I HATE those Irations.

Next "test probe" he's gonna get will be from Bubba.

This guy is going to not only feel like a dummy but he is going to get 15min of fame he never wanted.

[Dead Dog]

it's not the backpack, it's the cargo. That's my point.

how about sailboats. You could destroy the every port city in the US with 13 25ft sailboats.

I just fear the loss of the freedom of movement in exchange for the freedom to be a radical muslim.

"They are useless as a battering ram, and have slightly better payload then a wheel barrel. If a Cessna 150 is a weapon, a 1969 Olds 88 is a WMD."

What's their payload? I had a '65 Piper Cherokee 180 that could carry about 750 lbs not including 50 gal of fuel. Seems like 500 or so lbs of plastic explosive would make quite a bang.

I can't believe the morons among the White House correspondents. Some of them keep asking, "but how could the President have time to give the shoot-down order if it was only 3 miles away?" And Mac keeps saying "There are protocols in place. But they DON'T understand THAT means HE'S NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN GIVE THE ORDER.

Sheeeez!

ZARQAWI HERMAN!!!!!!!

[Lazamataz]

ZARQAWI HERMAN!!!!!!!

LEADER OF WHACKINGHABBIST ISLAM!!!

[Our man in washington]

Looking at the map, I see he's from Lancaster County. I would assume people from Lancaster County are different than Islamic Terrorists.

Okay, both groups believe that to get to Intercourse, you have to first get to Paradise.

Sorry...

[milford421]

I thought the same...

Where is Ari when you need him?

[mewzilla]

Well, at least they've got the the Bird-In-Hand...

I KNOW YOU ARE, BUT WHAT AM I????!!!!!
