#11  I'm going to Vegas in February. A fighter escort would be really cool. Maybe I can talk my wife into doing something stupid...

#10  The one thing the Islamofascists don't want to do is to anger the Kentucky moonshiners. They think the 82nd is tough!

#8  Local report says the plane WAS escorted until the woman was cleared, and that it was met by "heavy security" here. Of course, "heavy security" to a reporter could mean Barney Fife.

#6  RC, I'm afraid Steve's right, according to Fox- fooled again by the major media! Damn! Why do I listen to them??

#5  Steve, that's not what the local stories are saying. They're still escorting the plane in, and plan to move it to an isolated terminal and screen everyone individually.

#3  False alarm. No escorts, no suspects on board. Woman was pulled off in Paris because of wires coming out of her jacket. Turns out to be an electrically heated motorcycle jacket, plugs into the bike and keeps rider warm.

CINCINNATI -- There are reports that fighter jets are escorting a jet into the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky Airport.
The plane is Delta flight 043. It left Paris at 11:20 a.m. and is scheduled to land at 3:20 p.m.

The flight is said to be of interest because of a potential terrorism suspect on board, according to WLWT.

According to reports, a woman was removed from the flight before it took off from Paris because she had an electronic device that was causing some suspicion.

Passengers will be re-screened as a precaution when the plane lands in Cincinnati.

NBC news is reporting that officials want to speak with 14 people on board.

Additional details are forthcoming.
