BREAKING: Man Tries to Light Shoes on DC to Denver Flight

This is breaking right now. A man on a flight from DC to Denver was tackled by air marshals as he attempted to light his shoes on fire.

More info to come...

More (9:42): I'm told the plane has just landed. All passengers are uninjured and the man is in custody.

Later (9:47): I'm a bit ahead of the news. Trying to get more info from DIA.

Another attempted shoebomber from within the United States raises questions about the usefulness of the TSA's "take those shoes off" policy.

Later (9:56) Talked to media contact at DIA. They're calling it a "security disturbance". The plane was from Reagan to DIA. It was met upon arrival by the TSA, FBI, and airport PD. It will have no impact on airport operations. There are no flight holds at present.

I can’t stand those militant Mennonites and their crazy airline bomb schemes.

Is he a Muzzie? And what is it about Denver? They’ve had a number of “airport disturbances” and Muslim nutters there lately.

Airport spokesperson calls it a “airport disturbance”, not CNN.
