Newest members of Mile High Club get fighter escort
2011-09-12
Fighter jets were scrambled and bomb squads were called out after security fears on US passenger planes on the anniversary of the September 11 attacks -- but officials said the scares were nothing more than people ''making out'' in bathrooms and long toilet breaks.

A domestic Frontier Airlines flight from Denver to Detroit was shadowed by F-16 jets today after two passengers were spending ''an extraordinarily long time'' in the plane's bathroom, spokesman Peter Kowalchuck told the Associated Press.

But officials later said the ''suspicious behaviour'' was two people ''making out'', US television network ABC News reported.

#7  Something tells me (my little voice that keeps me from having midairs when I fly my plane) that this is not just a "making out" episode.

I would certainly hope that the FBI starts digging deep into the backgrounds of the people involved, who they associate with, the whole bit.

We will not hear the whole story in public, but I hope that the FBI is serious about these incidents.

The open border policy of the O admin and their cavalier attitude about letting cartel members buy firearms and using them in crimes against US and Mexican citizens is not very reassuring in their attitude or ability to protect this country from our enemies.

TheFBI said today there was no "romantic" activity among passengers that led to F-16 fighter jets being scrambled to escort a Frontier Airlines flight into Detroit Sunday. "At no time were there ever two people in the bathroom and the same time," the FBI said in a statement released Monday.

Local and federal law enforcement officials had told ABC News Sunday initial reports of "suspicious behavior" by multiple passengers that prompted the emergency call for F-16s was suspected of being a couple "making out" in the plane's lavatory mid-flight. When the flight landed, the plane was taken to a remote area for security screening and three passengers were briefly taken into custody.

In the course of their investigation, the FBI found that one of the passengers, who felt sick, happened to get up and head to the bathroom at approximately the same time as another passenger. None of the three people taken into custody knew each other, the FBI said.
