At least six flights were impacted by threats at airports in New York, New Jersey and Boston today, according to airlines and law enforcement.

JFK Airport:

An Air France plane was escorted to JFK Airport in New York City this morning after an anonymous threat was made against the flight, law enforcement officials told ABC News. The FBI said the plane has since been checked and cleared with "no incidents or hazards reported on board the flight by either the passengers or its crew."

And maybe one of them will be serious. Or not. The agenda of fear and diminishing freedom is served either way.

Tracking WHO these addled phone callers are...is FAR more important than capturing every other call made in the U.S.A!!!

WHERE IS NSA are they WORKING on this sort of REAL THREAT??

even as “prank calls” this is very serious business and NEEDS to be dealt with NOW.

if the people who made these calls are IDed they should be arrested and DEALT with

“Surprisingly”, they can’t. Once our freedoms are all gone in the name of safety and security, I’m sure that the NSA will “unexpectedly” get much more efficient.

What difference would a fighter jet make to anything other than an aerial attack? Perhaps intercept/divert a missile launched from the ground?

Or shoot down the jet if the pilot goes Religion of Peace?

Other than that, this is just more security theater.

unless the msm is willing to delve deeper into the story about these airlines who report threats w/o documentation for the public I consider these reports purely fantasy, false flags designed by the intelligence community to instill fear into the general public & I dismiss them- I do NOT give them any type of credibility even if these planes ARE escorted to “safety”. It’s just bs.

“Or shoot down the jet if the pilot goes Religion of Peace?

how does one ascertain the possibilities given the limited amount of time available? I dont know how to address this other than to do whatever can be done..”

we have to DEMAND that such calls are treated as CRIMES regardless of who made them and why...

should it turn out that no calls were made...OTHER HEADS need to roll.

we have “STANDING” and need to know that the callers are held responsible.

given the lawless prompting coming out of various “official” offices....it may be that these were all just stupid angry people acting badly...

whichever the case they Out Lives In Danger.
