LITTLE ROCK, AR – TSA officials detained a man who they say attempted to force his way onto a plane at the Little Rock National Airport Tuesday morning.

According to reports, a man pushed open an alarmed emergency door onto an airfield. The man was stopped by an airline employee, brought back into the terminal and instructed to wait for police. Instead, the man boarded a plane, Delta Airlines Flight 1614, heading to Atlanta. The man, along with two other passengers, were removed from the flight, interviewed by authorities and released.

Before the plane took off, all other passengers on the flight along with their carry on luggage were re-screened before being cleared for departure.

charlie c You are sooo right, in fact many of them are already here, even worse we even have illegals here working from the middle east who have already committed crimes while here and are in our probation system.

The United Police States Of AmeriKKKa... I imagine he didn't fit the description of one of "terrorist origin", so he was free to go.

Interviewed and released and who is to say he didn't go change reservations and get on another flight later on today? TSA officials must have seen that this idiot didn't have any cupcakes so they didn't detain. They search grandma's and people carrying things that don't even pertain to what they are trained to look for, yet Joe Psysho runs out of the terminal through a door and sets off an alarm and is questioned and released. Anybody check that morons luggage?
