WINDSOR LOCKS, Conn. (AP) - A terminal at Bradley International Airport was evacuated Tuesday and hundreds of passengers had to be rescreened because a pair of scissors was found in a restroom trash can in the terminal's secure area.
One airliner that had just taken off, American Airlines Flight 623 to San Juan, Puerto Rico, was ordered back to the airport so its passengers could be sent through metal detectors a second time, said Rowlin Tebbetts, operations manager for the airport outside Hartford.
Flight 623 was back in the air within an hour, said Jim Peters, a spokesman for the Federal Aviation Administration. Some 600 passengers aboard eight flights that had taken off earlier were screened again when they reached their destinations, he said.
In addition, 10 flights awaiting takeoff were delayed while their passengers went back through metal detectors, Tebbetts said.
A janitor found the scissors in a women's bathroom between the metal detectors and the boarding area of Terminal B, Tebbetts said.
Nope. And they didn't inform Hysterical Hillary either. She's really pissed!
Gunna issue everyone a national ID with a "religion" space? Nah . . . just stand at the gate and restrict Achmed and Mohammed from boarding the plane "Excuse me sir, you're not allowed on this flight" No card needed for thatEver seen a Bosnian Moslem? Ibrahmin looks a lot like Razo the Serb or Franjo the Croatian. Or Casimer the Pole for that matter. I bet you can't tell a Indonesian or Filipino Moslem from a Vietnamese Catholic either.
It's flat out stupid to treat people like enemies when they aren't. Especially when it wouldn't take much smarts for our enemies to take advantage.

LOL! I saw David. He held up the picture and said, "I say to the screeners....LOOK at these faces! Do I look anything like these guys?!" It was hysterical.When is he getting released? Or does that have to wait for the JBTs to plant something on him. Nothing new for Magaw.
