With the nation on high alert on the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks, fighter jets were scrambled to escort an American Airlines flight from Los Angeles International Airport to John F. Kennedy International Airport Sunday, after three passengers refused to come out of a bathroom, according to a report by NBC New York.
Send the bill for the Fighter Jets to the three passengers. They will come out next time.
Those folks better have on a pair of Depends on full load...or their arse is grass....
The three is just taping an episode of one of those new Reality TV shows.. or sumthin’.
I look forward to air travel but hopefully won’t require a fighter jet escort to top off the trip.
Seems like a strange thing for THREE passengers to do during a flight on 9/11.
What if they get notes from their doctors verifying that they suffer from chronic constipation? Next case...;)
Maybe they were slaughtering a goat....Oh...sorry applies to Afghan Airlines only....
Tell them to eat a McDonalds “Big Mac’ before getting on the plane.That will move them.
Constipation is not a problem for Big Mac’s
Three passengers were in ONE bathroom? How do you do that? It’s almost impossible to take a toddler with you in one of those.
When they see what it costs to dispatch a jetfighter, they will sh1t.
Interlocking parts.
Could it have been just an innocent muslim prayer time?
How insensitive of security..
TESTING 1..2..3
Actually, I am a bit perplexed by the fighter scramble. Three guys in a bathroom may be going bad things, including assembling a bomb or something, but there’s not a lot a fighter can do if that happens.
And why three? One fighter would be plenty to keep an eye on a passenger jet. Two, in case one breaks, is being super safe. Three is just plain silly.
Revoke their citizenship or their visas and deport them without delay.
Something rattled the pilot enough to make the call. Why are three men locked in a bathroom during a cross country flight on 9/11? And why did they refuse to come out?
Were their names Winken, Blinken and Nod?

Maybe the US needs to re-think immigration law and create a “Conditional Citizenship” for men, women and children. If they screw it up, they get a free trip to the other side of the border.
3 guys trying to join the mile high club in a airliner’s toilet? This gay thing has gone way to far.
“NORAD scrambled two F-16 jets to shadow the flight until it landed safely at JFK”
“A NORAD spokesman confirmed the military aircraft intercepted the flight about 100 miles west of New York and shadowed it until it landed.”
