“Maryland Man Arrested For Plane Bomb Threat,” WJZ, November 23, 2016:
BALTIMORE (WJZ) — A Maryland man has been arrested after police say he made threats to blow up the Southwest Airlines plane he was on.
On November 22, Southwest Airlines advised they had an unruly passenger on a flight departing from Oakland, California en route to Baltimore. The Southwest Pilot turned the flight around and returned to Oakland International. Deputies arrived and contacted the suspected unruly passenger, 32-year-old Arpan Shah from Maryland.
Shah reportedly told several passengers while the plane was taxiing out on the runway, that he was going to blow up the plane and continued to say it was going to blow up while in the air.
The pilot returned the flight back to the gate and out of an abundance of caution, all of the passengers and baggage were removed from the plane.
An explosive detection team was deployed to the airplane and conducted a thorough search of the aircraft. The passengers and baggage were re-screened, further delaying the flight….
Arpan Shah was arrested for criminal threats and booked into Alameda County-Glen Dyer Jail in Oakland, California.

Daniel Triplett says
For God’s Sake, when are we going to criminalize Islam?
Apostasy or firing squad. Those are the two choices.
I’m guessing it’s Demoncrat idiots hiring the criminals to work around airplanes. The HR head at this airport must be fired.
A Harris USA says
My question is when are the numb nuts liberals in No. Cal. going to wake up to the fact that these pig savages are nothing but evil!! Maybe never, due to the fact that they are evil too!!! The fact that this pig disrupted a flight, scared the crap out of innocent passengers, is not enough? Neither it would be enough if he indeed blew up the plane!!
Pamela says
I am afraid to fly, miss my daughter, have ticket to see her/Columbia Maryland. After seeing this I want to cancel! I gave up my HOME and Family 22 years ago/California, stress from moving out of State probably aged me 10 years! Now I am afraid to go see my Daughter! The Government has DONE this to Americans, and worse! Thank GOD for President Elect Trump. I pray he cleans up the Swamps in America!

Trump’s “Illegal Immigration” Master Plan
John C. Barile says
Well, I sure take it for granted that the guy from Maryland is named Arpan Shah rather than, say, Arnie Shane, or Sheen, or Shehan. Terrorism and terrorist threats seem so alien to a typical American. How xenophobic of me.
John C. Barile says
And racist. And Islamophobic.

All true, John.
And good to see you posing again. Despite the ever-present threat of Islamic savagery, I hope you and your loved ones had a wonderful Thanksgiving.
John C. Barile says
Bless you, too, Graven dear.
John C. Barile says
Say, GI, I just remembered something–that one of my friends was [falsely accused] arrested and jailed for–would you believe it?–making terroristic threats? As if a peaceful, slightly-built, law-abiding middle-aged Christian woman-of-color was the real terrorist in our midst–really:

Honestly, now–there must, just must have been something that we Americans are collectively guilty of that pushed this poor fellow over the edge. I mean, aren’t we always supposed to blame the victims of those compelled to wage jihad against us?

Needs a small business.
Fears Trump.
Does not have girlfriend or wife.
Was victimized by funny look at airport.
No halal Coke at the newsstand/gift shop.
(This will all come out in the investigation.)
John C. Barile says
No doubt.
don vito says
Another Trumpophobe.
Stendec says
A “Maryland man.”
Michael Copeland says
Maybe from that mosque that Erdogan paid for with that EU blackmail.
RichardL says
Henriettas Maria’s man did look slightly more civilised.
I have a feeling even his mother is challenged to find her son beautiful. Maybe if they shaved him and cut his hair properly? nah, I don’t think so.
A Harris USA says
Stendec, I never heard anything on the news about this in California………….Ummm, much less that he was a filthy Muslim!!
Richard says
Another arrogant, kafir-condescending Muslim mug shot like all the others. Shine a flashlight up those hirsute nostrils and you might just see the walnut-size brain, trying very hard to think.
zub says
Seems to me all airliners need to have an ejection hatch installed for such instances. This way the pilot can fly over the FBI or police building and deposit the perpetrator into custody without having to land and inconvenience the passengers with delays. /sarc
762x51FMJ says
Yes, an airlock,
combined with the old box and chain,
insert terrorist and pull chain..
A toilet that eats terrorists…
762x51FMJ says
convert the toilets into airlocks..
Buford says
I think this needs to be an automatic Death Penalty sentence

Maryland Muslim arrested for threatening to blow up Southwest Airlines plane
………………….
My husband and I often travel on Southwest Airlines, and usually fly out of Oakland–a no-frills airline that nonetheless also has an excellent safety record.
Of course, it won’t retain that safety record if Jihadists have anything to do with it.
God, I hate Islam.
Angemon says
Is this some sort of trend among “Maryland men”? Or is the report leaving a crucial piece of info out?
Jack says
LOL Angemon: Yep he’s a Maryland man alright, they look almost identical to Michigan men.
SK says
I’ve never heard the name Arpan, wasn’t sure if it was Muslim. Look it up, it’s Hindu.
Shah (surname)
Shah is an Indian surname. It is often confused with the Persian “Shah” meaning “King”.
It is derived from Sanskrit Sadhu (meaning gentleman[1]).
The surname like various other Indian surnames was also adopted by various other people.[2][3] The Shah surname is adopted by the trade communities (The Banias/Vanias) in Rajasthan and Gujarat states. Banias include the Jains and the Vaishnavas. It was widely used by the Jains even outside of Gujarat and Rajasthan, for example in Delhi/Haryana (see Nattal Sahu), Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh (see Sahu Jain) and Maharashtra.
From wiki.
Not clear to me that he is Muslim.
gravenimage says
Of course not! “Filthy Infidels” are *always* threatening to blow up airplanes!
SK says
Well, if he is confirmed as a Muslim, then this post should probably have the “converts to Islam” tag.
He doesn’t look anything like most South Asian Muslims, which implies that he or his parents were not born into the religion, or his parents are not from Muslim stock. He also has a Hindi name.
abad says
Looks like an orangutan to me it is so hairy.
Regardless, deport him, he does not belong in the United States of America at all.
Arpan Shah can go live in the Islamic Paradise of Syria.
somehistory says
He does not look like a man, has not acted like a man. Why not call him what he calls himself? A moslim.
This may be one of those times when one is on a fishing tour…to see what would happen…if no explosives are found…will they turn around and call police the next time some moslim begins saying what this one was? If they found explosives, will they let everyone know so the moslims become aware they can get them on-board?
Will they get them on-board again, and keep the big mouth shut? Just detonate next time?
Ronen says
How do they always succeed to recruit the prettiest ones for these missions?
Ray Sears says
Just lucky, I guess !
FYI says
Love?Peace?Tolerance?Reason?
There’s none of that in the religion of. hate.
But that’s not surprising given their great prophet,the commandment-breaker in chief,mahomet and their anti-Semitic,anti-Christian
“allah”.
Chris P. says
He’s Hindu.

Uh huh…
john spielman says
that photo gives new meaning to the term “FAT BASSTARD”
Ray Sears says
Or, MUSLIM SCUMBAG !
Robert Siena says
Friendly suggestion to blog editor: in the future, can you write a headline that represents the geographical location of the story? E.g., “Oakland CA: Muslim Airline passenger makes threats on flight to Maryland.” I live in Cali and although I care deeply about all the states, putting Maryland in the header threw me off. I don’t have all day to read the entire piece, usually. Many thanks and I read the site every night.

The headline comes from the newsource. It was not written by Robert Spencer.
