Which watch list? Which person?

[Guillermo]

Waiting for the CAIR denunciation (assuming the suspect is of a Mohammedan-animal persuasion)...

[ConservativeMan55]

LOL!

[Lurking2Long]

Dang...that Dan Rather sure does get around...

[LiveFreeOrDie2001]

Terror watch list.

On it's way to Washington, DC. and is diverted to another airport - did not catch which.

[mabelkitty]

Is it a Syrian musician/
Seriously, why would they say this unless the guy already hijacked the airplane? What does this mean?

[occutegirl]

The plane should be landing soon

[jambooti]

[Rander7]

watch list...as in terrorist watch list....

[pollyg107]

Flight from London to DC, diverted to Bangor, Maine. Person has been detained and is being questioned. Flight should land at Dulles shortly.

[mabelkitty]

Originating from where?

[sinkspur]

It's already landed and the FBI is talking to the guy.

[blogblogginaway]

If they're on the watch list, why they hell were they allowed to board the plane??? They discovered that in mid air?

[AmericanMade1776]

Okay..everyone get in a fetal position (said with much sarcasm)

[VOA]

Fox News Alert - Person on Watch List on Airplane to America (Breaking...)

So Senator Kerry's sister is returning from Australia?

[Wissa]

Kennedy again?

[stboz]

...diverted to another airport...

Guantanamo, I hope.

[LiveFreeOrDie2001]

I suspect they discovered it in mid-air...

[Peach]

The Watch List is the government's list of known terrorists.

A man's name came up on a flight who is on the Watch List. Ideally, this should have been discovered before the plane was in the air.

Since it was discovered once the plane left, the plane is making an early landing.

[PokeyJoe]

"Hi Zack, yeah... thought that I would give you a call.
We might be a little late tonight at the airport. Do you think you and the girls can stop and get some food - I'm going to be starving."

"What happened? Well, this guy in seat 15C was acting all wierd.... he and a couple of his buddies ... middle eastern dudes I think.... all got up and took turns walking into the bathroom.... They kept passing this bag back and forth.... I think they were building a bomb or something.... maybe putting together a gun or something...."

"Anyhow.... this young Marine got up and had to take a piss... well... these arab guy starting giving him crap... so the Marine decks him... then the other arab guy goes after the Marine... next think I know... 50 guys all jump up and nail these arabs to the floor.... one guy had a gun ... musta been an air marshall...."

"Turned out that the young Marine saved all of our lives... hey.... can you get some beer too.... I think we need to buy this guy some drinks when we get home . . . . "

Fiction is better than no facts according to Rather.

[Mr. Wright]

I understand Barney Frank (D) Mass will be meeting the plane and see that he is allowed to enter the US unless it is proven that he previously committed a terrorist act!

[right way right]

We live in amazing times that this should make the news.

9-11-01 Changed everything.

[freddiedavis]

london heathrow to washington dulles

[tgslTakoma]

Flight from London to DC, diverted to Bangor, Maine.

Hear anything on local news??

[RS]

UAL 919 is over Santa Fe at the moment - can't be them...

[ALASKA]

Teddy Kennedy was out of the country?

Not the "Who would want to watch" list, the "watch" list...............sheesh.

[TN4Liberty]

UAL Flight 919 in in route from Dulles to San Diego and is currently over New Mexico. Are you sure about that number?

[finnman69]

Ted Kennedy returning from France?

[ArmyBratCutie]

thank you peach!!....

[Lancey Howard]

bttt

[armymarinemom]

The report states that they plane has already left the airport. I do wish they had mentioned they were going to fly over my house, outisde of Bangor, with a bad guy on board before they landed. I could have left for a while.

[vezke]

Probably a Mohammed Abdul. The John Smith of the arab world.

[Peach]

You're more than welcome.

Hope you're enjoying FR. You will find it's quite addicting!

[oceanview]

because the passenger lists are not shared in a timely manner. don't kid yourself, we have many FR civil liberties types who think there is a constitutional right to fly anonymously - and who oppose sharing of passenger lists with government agencies.

[AdequateMan]

Think about it, folks- If you're asking why he was allowed on the plane, please remember that they probably noticed him at the originating airport, and placed air marshals around him on the plane, but allowed him to board in order to avoid extradition proceedings.

[KnutCase]

Why do they always divert suspicious flights to Bangor, Maine??? Maine residents must really like that. Will this affect how Maine residents vote?

[ping jockey]

I bet the liberal ,peace loving , Mainers , are going to be thrilled to death.

[Ruddles]

I hope they read him his rights and gave him a social security number.

[Stonedog]

we have many FR civil liberties types who think there is a constitutional right to fly anonymously

Those are called Libertarians.

[bayourod]

"Flight from London to DC, diverted to Bangor, Maine."

Save the armadillos.

[KnutCase]

Maybe it's flight 616. Your computer may be upside down.

[A CA Guy]

Barry Manilow?

[Dog Gone]

Nobody actually lives in Maine. A few summer homes and some P.O. Boxes for politicians who vote themselves into office, but last I checked, there were no permanent residents.

It's kinda weird.

[A CA Guy]

The ones flying with illegal drugs sure are! LOL

[rolling_stone]

In other news 6,000 illegal aliens of uncertain origin snuck across the southern border into the US today....

[OSHA]

Why do they always divert suspicious flights to Bangor, Maine???
