DETROIT (WWJ) – An airport spokesman said a Delta Air Lines flight from Detroit to San Diego was diverted to Albuquerque, New Mexico on Saturday morning after authorities investigated a “potential security threat.”

A friend of three of the passengers on Flight 1706 told WWJ that the plane was evacuated after a threatening note was found in the bathroom.

Delta Flight 1706 passenger Tim Cole described what the captain told passengers before the plane was diverted.

“The first time the captain came on, he said that there was a threat. The next time he came on to give us more details he said that there had been a note left in one of the lavatories,” he said.

The FBI interviewed some of the passengers who were taken off the plane.

Albuquerque International Sunport airport spokesman Daniel Jiron said the plane was held in a “remote location” at the airport before it was cleared for takeoff again.

Jiron said the 107 passengers aboard the flight were interviewed, as was the crew.

An FBI spokesman says authorities found “no suspicious devices” on the plane, but declined to clarify the nature of the threat.

The flight, Delta 1706, was diverted at 10 a.m.

Guarantee that this “event” was staged just like the Patriot Act is meant to keep citizens in a vise-like grip laughingly called “security”.This is just another trick that is meant to justify the Feds cracking down on us even more. This is so obvious I am wondering why more people don’t see through this foolishness. Wake up.

Enough is enough !!!
We should not allow these barbarians to terrorize us anymore.
If our leaders care more about being politically correct than to protect the american people, than we should remove all of them from office and vote in others who are willing to do the job.
Muslims are the ones who want to kill us.
These are not “isolated incidents” anymore, they are almost daily occurances…
Profile the hell out of them, monitor the mosques where all the terrorist plots are being planned, stop all muslim immigration and throw out anyone who seems even remotely suspicious.
