New Detroit scare declared 'non-serious'
CNN ^ | December 27, 2009

Posted on 12/27/2009 12:59:29 PM PST by rightwingintelligentsia

(CNN) -- The security alert aboard a Northwest Airlines jet Sunday was the result of a "non-serious" incident, and the man questioned in connection with the scare does not appear to be a threat, a law enforcement source said Sunday.

The crew of Northwest Flight 253 -- the same Amsterdam, Netherlands-to-Detroit, Michigan flight targeted Friday in what prosecutors called a bomb plot -- reported a "verbally disruptive" passenger Sunday and requested police meet the plane, airline and airport officials told CNN. The man was questioned by police after the plane landed in Detroit early Sunday afternoon.

The passenger spent about an hour in the bathroom and got upset when he was questioned by the crew of the flight from Amsterdam, Netherlands, according to government sources. Law enforcement agents were questioning the man Sunday.

The jet had the same designation -- Flight 253 -- as the one on which a Nigerian man is accused of attempting to set off an explosive device Friday, said Scott Wintner, a spokesman for the Wayne County Airport Authority. Winter told CNN the flight "requested emergency assistance and was pulled aside upon arrival in Detroit."

Yeah, I’m sure the author of this report wouldn’t have felt the least bit of stress had he/she been a passenger on that plane.

Good grief, what shameful apologists

As another freeper said-If the first guy was not stopped by a passenger, it would have been treated as another mid-air fuel tank explosion.

Probably flushed the evidence during his extended stay in the bathroom.

Or that Air France one that went down in a storm.. There’s always some way to cover it up unless it’s very very blatant. What I funny is that when Russian planes blow up they usually just admit what happened. Everyone else though is awfully scared.

Not serious.

Even though its exactly the same crime committed by that muslim retard Richard Reid, who is currently in ADX supermax, and was sentenced to spend the rest of his life there.

We don’t know yet. I posed that question early on the breaking thread.

They may never tell us, in order to secure the cover-up...

But would they report it if it was? A second breach would totally put the Administration in the hot seat. Especially after Janet told us there was no connection to AQ.

Curious how they don't mention names. The person is probably a muslim.
