Four people were removed from a Chicago-bound flight at Baltimore-Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport on Tuesday morning after a passenger reported suspicious behavior as the plane taxied to the runway, officials said.
Spirit Airlines Flight 969 was taxiing to the runway when the flight crew decided to return to the gate, Maryland Transportation Authority Police spokesman 1st Sgt. Jonathan Green said. The captain asked police to remove three men and a woman from the plane, he said. Police are investigating the four people, he said.
"While the aircraft was taxiing to the runway, a passenger alerted a flight attendant of a passenger engaged in suspicious activity on board," Spirit Airlines spokesman Stephen Schuler said in a statement. All passengers were removed from the plane for a time, but once the Transportation Security Administration cleared the plane and luggage, the flight departed for Chicago's O'Hare International Airport after 9 a.m., he said. It had been scheduled to leave at 6 a.m.

Suspicious activity? Trying to light their shoes?
Probably just clocks /s
Do we know what they were doing?
Weren’t there also 2 removed from a plane at Reagan? What is this, more “probing”?
This happened also at Reagan National last week, 2 middle eastern men were led off a jet under Police....
ping!
NO! I'm shocked!
Better safe than sorry though.
And as an added safety measure - reduce their numbers in this country (the twirling dervishes can stay ... I've never heard of them bombing people. Although I can't actually say was is their gig. They like to twirl a lot, I suppose...).
Possible “Dry Runs”? to see how the reaction will be
Louisville KY Gvt building evacuated due to a suspicious package/bomb scare too.
They will claim racial profiling, racism, Islamophobia, sue for several million, settle out of court for a few million, and live happily ever after.
Or their underwear, like the guy in Detroit who had a bit of a "cock-up" with his operation (as the British might say).
Shameless attempt to get an invitation to the White House.
A popular terrorist tactic is "desensitizing". Doing apparently innocent things that are unusual to the general population. As they occur more frequently, the general population ceases to be concerned by them.
Then, WHAM! You find out they were praying on their rugs near the lavatories for a reason.
They could just be fundraising. If a Muslim gets kicked off a flight and there isn't concrete evidence of a bomb or something, they can sue and settle quickly for a few hundred thousand bucks. That money comes in handy for financing bigger projects.
Watch for increased episodes like this followed by legal suits for profiling and discrimination. Once the lawyers force authorities to reduce awareness under the threat of suit, the real threat will be carried out.
More like desensitizing runs. Like the kid’s clock.
ROFL
The exact words I was about to post! GMTA.
