I'd Bangor

"Bangor? I hardly know her!"

/Obvious

Bangor? Hardly know her!

Don't worry Sully Sullenberger is flying.

Lobster rolls for everyone!

Newflash? Really? This shiat happens at least once or twice a month.

He just loved that tooter fish sandwich, but he needs Keflex.

Was it the guy from REM crapping on the floor again ?

Ah, Bangor, where we send the planes with suspicious passengers. And nothing else probably...

Welcome to Obama's America.

/Am I doing that right?

Maine seems sort of out-of-the-way for a flight between Texas and North Carolina.

Know her? I hardly Bangor!

kindms: Was it the guy from REM crapping on the floor again ?

No, it was the KONY guy masturbating in public again.

Cell phone pic of the suspect:

Dark-skinned guy with diarrhea?

Guy in a turban watching an action movie with lots of explosions?

Pakistani family speaking not-English and laughing during the safety demonstration?

I'm going to guess that the suspicious behavior is in that kind of a range.

/psychic

Go be muslin somewhere else moran

What are the odds on this being some bigot complaining about some Arab-looking dude who was just sitting there, minding his own business? Or perhaps some passenger that was "agitated" as a result of just having had his nuts fondled by some government-sponsored pervert at the security gate.

IAAl: Maine seems sort of out-of-the-way for a flight between Texas and North Carolina.

It has to do with the fact that you're traveling over a sphere, not a flat surface.

Maybe it was the good Pastor Charles L. Worley returning home from lobbying people about a need to put Lesbians, Homosexuals and Queers in an electrified fence, and someone who actually follows what Jesus was all about told him to fark off and die on the plane?

Don't Troll Me Bro!: What are the odds on this being some bigot complaining about some Arab-looking dude who was just sitting there, minding his own business?

Very low.

IAAl: Maine seems sort of out-of-the-way for a flight between Texas and North Carolina.

It's expendable.

The guy who called in the suspicious passenger:

Even lower -- there's no TSA in France and it was diverted at the end of the flight

"TSA is aware of reports of a passenger who exhibited suspicious behavior during flight. Out of an abundance of caution the flight was diverted to BGR where it was met by law enforcement," the statement said.

Damn muslims acting suspicious by minding their own business and doing nothing wrong whatsoever. Lock them up!!!!

Rincewind53: Newflash? Really? This shiat happens at least once or twice a month.

agreed I live no more then 15 or so miles form the airport in question. Being the 1st airport that any over seas flight gets near that is big enough to hold the larger aircraft means we get these all the time. Might help that there is also a Air Force reserves base that shares runways with the regular airport so they got some jet fighters and marines station there if the police need help.

Maybe Cat Stevens got on-board.again.

Someone got caught Flying While Muslim again. Shut everything down!

Thanks, TSA. Good work, again.

Why do you need a direct flight from Paris to Charlotte?
Are the Frenchies invading us through Charlotte?

IAAl: Maine seems sort of out-of-the-way for a flight between Texas and North Carolina.

It wasn't Paris, Texas; it was Carrboro, North Carolina, which has the nickname "The Paris of the Piedmont." That's why only one state was listed.

Extremely unlikely, since the flight took off from Paris, France.

AverageAmericanGuy: Thanks, TSA. Good work, again.

Don't forget to thank SEAL Team 6, Capt. Sullenberger and the Super Friends as well -- they all played equal roles here.

Banghard? I herly know or

I'm going with: Someone had too much to drink and yelled at the stewardess about them running out of chips.

Came for these.. Leaving satisfied

TSA MUST DIE!

I going out on this limb to assume the affront was insulting the flight crew.

FTA: "abundance of caution". Stinks like chit, looks like chit, walks and talks like chit.

The problem is that flight crews have now adopted this MADD Response to mollify the traveling public.
They are not confused and think this authority exercise crap is about security, but they will use petty bullchit to prove their own authority. Somebody gotta sober them up. Maybe a lil' slappy happy therapy.

Back in the day, you got diciplined for crying wolf just to punish someone. You at least got called out. Now, pffftt.

praxis44241: Why do you need a direct flight from Paris to Charlotte?

Charlotte is U.S. Air's hub. Plus, you know how much the French love BBQ.

Do YOU feel safer?

Well, do ya punk?

TSA MUST DIE!

Bangor gets to deal with all the transatlantic crap.

/the miniseries of that book was Grade-A weird...and the lead actor was Bronson Pinchot, for some bizarre reason

Oh. I thought Texas was mostly flat. Did it pass over the Astrodome or something?

Impasse: Bangor? Hardly know her!

Soooo close.

...and now, the Cavity Search

Just a crazy woman threatening to blow up the plane. Not really newsflash worthy
