The crazies are going bezurk: Flights Diverted and Other Airline Security Concerns

The past few days have been busy ones for air traffic controllers who handled several flight diversions on U.S. airlines due to disruptive passengers. On Thursday, Delta Airlines flight 188 from Pittsburgh to Paris was landed in St. John's, Newfoundland after a passenger started spouting off about Muslims. Marcus Miller who was sitting next to the man told a Pittsburgh news reporter, "You know, he kept referring to Muslims and I just felt like, if this guy snaps, we're in trouble."

That same day, Muhammad Abu Tahir, a passenger on AirTran flight 39 from Atlanta to San Francisco was said to have gone into the bathroom and refused to come out. Fighter jets were dispatched and the plane was landed in Colorado where Mr. Tahir was arrested.

Hawaiian Airlines diverted two flights in two days. On Flight 39, Joseph Hedlund Johnson, became agitated and reportedly gave a note to a member of the flight crew that was interpreted as threatening. Like the AirTran flight, U.S. military jets were dispatched to accompany the Hawaiian plane to an emergency return to Portland, Oregon. Another Hawaiian Airlines flight from Las Vegas to Hawaii landed in L.A. after a passenger reportedly sexually assaulted the woman sitting next to him.
