A passenger reportedly tried to force his way into the cockpit of the Honolulu-bound flight from Los Angeles

The US military on Friday scrambled two Air Force fighter jets to escort an American Airlines flight into Honolulu international airport after a disturbance was reported on board, a Pacific Command spokesman said.

Neither the military nor American Airlines immediately disclosed the nature of the disturbance, but local news media reported that a passenger had tried to force his way into the cockpit of the Honolulu-bound flight from Los Angeles.

HawaiiNewsNow said an airline crew member and an off-duty Honolulu police officer subdued the unruly passenger. US family: we were kicked off Delta flight for refusing to give up son's seat Read more

Citing unnamed sources, the news outlet also reported that the male passenger was Turkish and had earlier breached security at Los Angeles international airport but “was assessed and allowed to board” the flight anyway.

Agree. TSA at LAX is the worst. Bottom of the barrel. The last time I flew out of there is when we relocated to TN in 2010 and I said I’d never use that airport again because TSA was so abusive. I never have.

Ragheads, OTOH, were treated wonderfully.

One of the prime reasons they did not beef up the security of the cabin doors is that algore was in charge of the airliner security committee. The airline companies did not wish to pay for the upgrade in security and just before the committee recommended to not require an upgrade, the airline industry coincidentally donated a few 100K to the Clinton Campaign.

You might have missed the druggie homosexual on the United flight that collected 10 million for his troubles. His attorneys probably got double that for a few hours work.

Consider the fact that many TSA agents are Muslim. One of the bitches with the head scarf had my light brown haired daughter pulled aside for a search.

Wouldn’t the better idea have been to add more Marshalls to the plane? Put a stop to it IN the plane, not blowing it up

And the more financially prudent also.

After more than 100 days of the Trump Presidency I am totally baffled as to why the TSA still exist... Doing away with the TSA should have begun at day 30 and ended at day 90... The TSA is a worthless anti-American - Anti-Constitution INSULT to the American way of life that could ever be conceived ...

Kill the TSA NOW...

Why didn’t they beat him senseless and drag him from the plane?

What did you expect, it wasn't a UNITED Airlines flight.

LAX is better than SFO. The creeps there aren’t even TSA, they are some kind of contract group. The guys all seem to be trolling and frisking for dates. Totally unprofessional.
