DENVER (AP) — A United Airlines plane bound from Denver to California returned to the gate before takeoff after a man complained about three other passengers.
Denver police spokesman Sonny Jackson says United Airlines Flight 593 was supposed to be headed to Santa Ana, Calif. But it returned to the gate at Denver International Airport before takeoff around 10 p.m. Thursday. Law enforcement officials met the plane at the gate.
Three men whose actions were reportedly suspicious and the male passenger who complained were taken off the plane and questioned separately. Authorities did not say what the man found suspicious.
No arrests were made. All four were released early Friday.
Jackson says the pilot returned to the gate after receiving the complaint. United spokesman Charlie Hobart says the airline cooperated with authorities.

Posted on April 22, 2011 at 7:31pmbetter get used to delayed flights, obama and his snitch network kicked into overtime with the WH website to turn your parents in and all of the walmart vid announcements to turn your suspicious neighbors in esp if you think they oppose obama.
welcome to 1930s Germany, where by 1935 even children indoctrinated totally in the hitlerjugend were turning in their parents for criticizing the Fuhrer.

Posted on April 22, 2011 at 6:41pmProbably three of those hateful Christians carrying Bibles or something. It couldn’t have been members of the religion of peace and love, aka, Islam advocating the overthrow of the government. That‘s okay because that’s what the current “leaders” of the country are trying to do and seem to be succeeding at too.

Did you know that Jerkweed Obama spent a lot of time with one of the most dangerous Imams and terrorist organizations in the world in Pakiland? All are or were wanted by your friends.
Obama is nothing more than an Islamist terrorist who wants the Infidel to be destroyed. And he is doing a great job.
Only the People of America can save us. It is our duty, according to the Declaration of Indepencence. Also, it takes only two citizens to arrest someone for treason. Wonder why the Alien and Sedition Act was repealed by Exec order? That was also illegal.
There is no one to enforce our laws anymore, except us.
It is gonna get ugly overnight. Be vigilant and know our Creator who not let us down. No army has ever been defeated who were truly on the side of te Lord.
God bless all those who will sacrafice it all to be free!

Posted on April 22, 2011 at 1:21pmThis story does not tell you a da*n thing. It doesn’t say if they were arab/muslim or not. It doesn’t give you any indication of what these 3 did that was suspicious. Since it does not tell you the men’s ethnicity then they must be black or arab..or both like obama. This is a PC report if I ever read one.

Posted on April 22, 2011 at 1:14pmHooray for a pilot and crew listening to observations / concerns of a passenger (or of many passengers).
We are alert these days!
I used to fly somewhat consoled with good food and drink before 9/11. Ever since that time when I had to fly, I flew ON ALERT watching obviously identifiable men of mid eastern descent and even women wrapped in clothes rather than dressed for long hours at a time. Caught one man once and brought him to the attention of a steward who then brought him to attention of either the pilot or air marshals. GREAT feeling to walk off that flight in one piece and a great feeling that there were people on the plane willing and ready to act.
FIGHT ON, AMERICA! PRAY ON, AMERICA!

He is acting very oddly – telling people he thinks one way and doing something totally opposite.
He is hanging out with a lot of shady characters too. (And I mean LOTS of them)
People who claim they are above the law are coming to visit him on a daily basis.
People who are admitting publically that they plan to overthrow our nation are welcomed in while people who claim to be looking out for our country are being laughed at.
I think we should send a couple of black and whites over to check him out.

I praise the passenger for his actions and if it spoiled the day for some people so what it could have been much worse.

Posted on April 22, 2011 at 1:16pmThey found it suspicious that he went through the “Feel Up” line twice, and asked for a cigarette afterwards. Then didn’t complain about being crammed next to the fat guy, and was actually enjoying the airline magazine. Not one complaint no matter what they did to him, so of course he must be hiding something, or they just didn’t push enough buttons.
Or maybe it was enough that he was heading to California willingly.
