TOKYO, May 19 (AFP) -
SNIPPET: "The pilot of the Boeing 747-400 with 407 passengers and crew bound for Minneapolis turned around late Monday about three hours into the flight from Tokyo's Narita airport after crew found the two men who refused to leave the cabin bathroom.
Reports said the pair, who identified themselves as Chinese citizens aged in their 20s, had boarded the flight during an earlier stop in Shanghai.
Japanese immigration officials were questioning the men, who said they did not have passports."

I understand RR and it’s still breaking news and eventually the updates will sort it out.
Thanks, Cindy. Updates appreciated.
You’re welcome RR.
Maybe they were practicing a scene out of "Ocean's Eleven".

Not much of an update, but here are a few more details:

“Delta flight from Tokyo lands in Minneapolis safely”
SNIPPET: “Passengers said two men locked themselves in the same restroom and refused to come out.
“One guy was hiding in the bathroom. We saw one guy was lying on the floor,” said Minkyoung Sung, who was on the flight.
“I heard a flight attendant come up to the man in the seat in front of me and say, ‘This isn’t your ticket. Where’s your passport?’ I don’t think he had any of that,” Schauf said.
Sarah Donlin said she didn’t notice anything suspicious until she saw the crew on the plane rush to the front lavatory. Another passenger said she saw someone being carried down the aisle, unconscious.
“Then it looked like someone was ill and that’s what they announced over the loud speaker,” Donlin said. “And that’s what we were led to believe until we saw police enter the airplane.”
Another passenger told 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS that she saw two handcuffed people leave the plane.”

I just had a weird thought, two gay terrorists each have a massive amount of a binary explosive agent in their blood system thats harmless and not detectable decide to do a little “mile high” activity and go boom together.
Its conceivable in its absurd ridiculous fashion and our enemies know of no level to stoop to, they will do it until we do it to them first.
