I have to ask the question: given our heightened state of alert, and even more so, the fact that airline passengers will no longer take any s___ from knife-wielding or box-cutter-holding ragheads, are the terrorists that stupid to think they can get away with another airline incident?

Thanks for keeping us posted.

This is not much more information, but it is from the KHOU website.
HOUSTON (KHOU) -- Air Marshalls contacted the Houston Police Department after they found a folding knife on Dallas/Nashville bound American Airlines flight 1702. .
The FBI has reportedly heard that there are two people in custody from the flight.

I live just a few miles from Ellington Field which 20 miles south of Houston.
Usually all I see or hear are the small trainer jets the astronauts keep up their hours in.
But starting yesterday afternoon and all night, I could hear the big boys screaming overhead keeping an eye on the city and the coast.
Both a bit un-nerving and comforting at the same time.

Damn glad for the air marshalls...maybe they work when they work...guess the guy was "brandishing" the knife...because I doubt the air marshalls frisk people during the flight...
To: Constitution Day
I think this is a different incident than the one you have linked to.

FBI is stating the 3 guys in the restroom is NOT terrorism but the one in IAH is an attempted hijacking...
To: antivenom
That's what the local stations are saying right now. Two air marshalls were on the plane.
