Plane Delayed After Suspicious Incident
Updated: Sep 19, 2008 03:43 PM
McCarran passengers on a flight headed to Minneapolis were forced to get off the plane and be re-screened after a suspicious incident.
McCarran officials say a Northwest Airlines flight was boarding early this morning when the pilot noticed an employee of the wheelchair contractor had boarded the plane and was talking with a passenger.
The pilot and the rest of the crew became suspicious because there was no official reason for that to occur. Authorities re-screened the passengers and searched the plane.
The plane and its passengers were given the all clear and took off about 3 hours late.
