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.

Probably 3 different bathrooms.
I don’t know how three men could fit into an airplane bathroom.
From the story it sounds like three drunken homosexuals doing sodomy in the airplane’s bathroom.
Since they are a protected class of citizenry, no charges will be filed.
btt
Amish rumspringa.
Thank you. Help yourself to a Guinness!
Well, that makes sense. I always fly small planes with only one. LOL
Yes, it is clear that they could steer the plane from the restrooms. Meanwhile, while the jets are busy escorting the decoy, the other jet moves unfettered?
Methinks our leaders are easy to fool, anxious to look good; but, quick to apply protective forces in the wrong place.
Geez...
How bad have things gotten when you long for the days that when two guys were locked in a airline bathroom they were just a some gay guy and your congressman.....
Sigh...
But it does say “a” bathroom. They will probably claim they were just trying to break the Guinness record.
Perhaps someone unexpectedly gave birth to twins?
But seriesly, why don’t airplane lavatories have a simple, exterior, crew-operated latch for these situations ... not to mention those where an innocent passenger goes into a catatonic state of claustrophobia or is too drunk to figure out the latch from inside?
Scumbags creating a disturbance for the hell of it. Every little thing to disrupt has its cost. They should get some serious time as a message to others
3 in an airliner’s bathroom? Must have been pretty crowded in there, I would have locked them in and continued the flight to original destination....images of the POS’s soiling themselves like the putrid pig-dogs they are.
LOL out loud.
went into a bathroom and were “not compliant...”
Funny how they put that.
I don’t want to think about it.
You mean that black stuff that bites your tongue and macho people claim they like?
No thanks, just give me blond, beautiful pilsner.
I’m left wondering what became of the goat.
See #8. LOL.
Oh, by all means, your personal favorite potation. (I prefer wine.) The Guinness is just a literary trope.
