Laura Ingraham: Plane evacuated in DC, two Middle Eastern men led away by police

Nov 15, 2015 6:52 pm By Robert Spencer

Relax: it was a paperwork issue. You have been on numerous flights that were evacuated over paperwork issues, now, haven’t you?

“Laura Ingraham: Plane Evacuated – Two Middle East Looking Young Men Led Away by Police at DC’s Reagan National,” by Kristinn Taylor, Gateway Pundit, November 15, 2015 (thanks to Bulldog):

Talk radio host Laura Ingraham live-tweeted a security incident early Sunday evening about an American Airlines plane as it was preparing to depart for Boston from Reagan National Airport, which is just across the Potomac River from Washington, D.C.

Ingraham reported that Flight 2124 was evacuated at the departure gate with police and bomb sniffing dogs searching the plane.

Eventually two men ‘Middle Eastern looking men’, bearing ‘green passports’ were led away by police. Ingraham noted neither man had carry-on luggage and that they did not ‘protest’ being removed from the flight.

Passengers were then allowed to reboard the plane reported Ingraham.

Ingraham said the pilot made an announcement that the men were asked about a paperwork issue and gave unsatisfactory answers so they were ‘being dealt with’….

UPDATE: WUSA-TV reports the men were questioned, released and are being allow to board a later flight.…”(the plane) was evacuated after crew members reported “suspicious activity” by two people on the plane.

“The two passengers were questioned by authorities and released. They did not reboard the flight, but American says they will be re-accommodated on a later flight.”

    I cannot forget an interview Ingraham did with Mr. Spencer in the aftermath of the Boston Marathon bombings. She warned Spencer not to paint (Islam) with a “broad bush.” She told Spencer she has a Muslim friend who told her, ‘this is not who we are’, etc.

    Respecting Laura Ingraham specifically, I have nothing for her anymore ever since she excoriated Pamela Geller for holding the Mohammed drawing contest down in Garland, Texas.

    She’s too smart by half and like so many others (e.g., Bill O’Reilly) who are NOT part of the MSM but who function in the anti-MSM world quite successfully, she remains willfully ignorant about Islam. She is part of the problem, almost as much as those in the MSM are, and is not part of any real solution respecting how to deal with mankind’s best disguised and longest-lived form of evil of all time, Islam. The sin upon her head for the crap she has spewed. She really doesn’t “get it.”

      Agree, Laura just doesn’t get it

      Indeed.

    Muslims only have raise the suspicion of a terror attack to cause panic, so they have already won

      So true; terror has been struck into our hearts and we continue to feel terror, ever since 9/11/01, although the MSM including many FNC hosts deny it. We have been subdued by Islam. Our politicians are afraid to even mention the name of Islam when talking about bombings and knifings around the world.

    Ingraham said the pilot made an announcement that the men were asked about a paperwork issue and gave unsatisfactory answers so they were ‘being dealt with’….
    ____________________

    Why were these two men permitted to board the plane in the first place? Aren’t these “paperwork issues” dealt with BEFORE boarding the plane?

    Wasn’t it obvious that neither of these men had carry-on luggage prior to boarding?

    Curious story…

    Probably a CAIR operation. Lawsuit. It’s gonna make ’em RICH.

    Ah, wait until CAIR starts shouting Islamophobia!!

    Mu-slime paperwork:
    1. letter bomb,
    2.suspicious package bomb,
    3.questionable smelling envelope,
    4.and most dangerous of all, eye melting book of hatred.

      Buckets of blood ideology
      How do Muslims ever manage to clean off the continuous flow of blood stains on Qur’ans?

    “Relax,” indeed, the jihadist will very likely allow for Rock-a-bye-baby time.

    “Relax,” indeed…

    Green passports are Saudi.

    “crew members reported “suspicious activity”.

    Uh oh…CAIRS’s gonna jump on this one. I think CAIR would have us wait until the wings were separating from the plane before making any judgments. Even worse, what if Security has made these guys late for a clock makers convention??

    Sarcasm aside, it’s nice to know that these passengers were ok to allow on later flights. Congratulations to security and the crew for doing its job in an effective and reasonable way.

    How ironic considering this happened at the Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport. The president who foolishly first empowered Al Qeda and the initial steps towards the world-wide Islamic terrorism today.

    • Carolyne says

      Nov 16, 2015 at 10:02 am

      No, Don McKellar, that was Jimmy Carter. By double-crossing the Shah of Iran and facilitating the return to Tehran of Ayatolla Khomeini from Paris, he set in motion the terrorist takeover of the Middle East. And Obama and Hillary Clinton finished the job with their “Arab Spring.”

    • Wellington says

      Nov 16, 2015 at 12:57 pm

      Ronald Reagan, Don McKellar, was fighting the war du jour, the Cold War, and made alliances with some in Afghanistan to thwart Soviet expansion. Blaming him now for Islamic terrorism is like blaming FDR and Churchill for Soviet machinations, repressions, proxy wars, etc. from the late 1940s onwards carried out by the USSR because they allied with and supplied Stalin in WWII.

    Today is Safar 4 – from Wikipedia https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_calendar

    ” Supposedly named thus because pre-Islamic Arab houses were empty this time of year while their occupants gathered food. Another account relates that they used to loot the houses of their enemies after defeating them in battle, leaving nothing behind. “

    • Carolyne says

      Nov 16, 2015 at 10:03 am

      And Islam perfected the technique.

    I was directed to some of the tweets essentially calling Laura a racist for even reporting this event.
    I found her tweets quite innocuous and don’t comprehend why they were ripe for criticism, whatever one’s view.
