Fighter Jets Escort Flight to JFK After Passengers Refuse to Leave Bathroom (Muslims?)
WNBC New York ^ | 9/11/11 | Jonathan Dienst

Two F-16 fighter jets were scrambled to escort a flight from Los Angeles to John F. Kennedy Airport Sunday afternoon after three passengers refused to come out of a bathroom.

The flight landed safely after 4 p.m.

The Transportation Security Administration said in a statement that it was "notified of passengers allegedly behaving suspiciously" onboard the flight at about 3 p.m., and that the jets were scrambled "out of an abundance of caution."

"Law enforcement met the flight and will interview passengers," the TSA said.

The passengers on American Airlines Flight 34 went into a bathroom and were "not compliant," a security official told NBC New York.

Here’s a clue. If these were militant Lutherans, we’d have names and photos already. Somebody said they ought to bill them for the cost of the fighter escort and I agree. Of course, that’s probably racist.

On the rare occasions I fly, I try not to use the bathroom. I guess I had to when I went to Europe, but I suppressed the memory.

Perhaps it happened to be muslim prayer time. Don’t be so judgmental.

I understand they have to wash their hands, but couldn’t they do it one at a time?

It’s expensive to scramble fighter jets. I say we charge those passengers for the expense. If they can’t pay, jail them. Or better yet, do both.

If there were three people in the airplane bathroom I would think that it's possible that they couldn't come out, not wouldn't.

Especially if they escort the jet all the way from L.A. to JFK like the first sentence says. Guess those fighters have extended fuel tanks.
