LOS ANGELES — The Federal Bureau of Investigation Friday was investigating after a man reportedly attempted to break into the cockpit on a flight from Los Angeles International Airport.
According to authorities, Delta Flight 386 was on its way to Nashville. Video from the flight shows flight attendants and passengers wrestling with the man, tackling him and restraining him. Once the man was restrained and the flight crew was able to get the rest of the passengers seated, the pilots made an emergency landing in Albuquerque where the passenger was taken into custody. The FBI Albuquerque said in a tweet that there was no threat to the public.

With a deranged person in the cockpit trying to stop an airplane and the STUPID asshats at the FBI says: "there was no danger to the public"If the other passengers don't qualify as Public and the plane crashes in the Amazon, maybe. D'ya thik the FBI will ever get at least one thing right?

"The FAA is now prosecuting passengers for misconduct that interferes with the safety of crew members." So prosecuting people who break the law is a deterrent? Who knew? Someone tell the mayors of Portland, Seattle, Baltimore, D.C., ad nauseam.

He's no danger, but doggonit, you'd better wear that mask, or we'll line you up and shoot you.
Did the airlines ever limit the number of passengers on flights to accommodate social distancing? Just curious.

Turned him over to the FBI? He'll be on another plane tomorrow at taxpayers expense.

Drugs or mental? Your choice.

Probably known to the feebs, etc., etc. Just another mental defective that we can no longer institutionalize, thanks to the party of mental defectives.
Someone might be fashioning a noose on a crane or door pull somewhere, so the feebs will need to put their focus there.

FBI tells me in a tweet there was not any real danger to a plane in flight I'm not going to believe that. This is from a group who had to investigate a garage rope in Bubba's garage and Jussie Smollett I'll leave it at that.

#2, the deranged man was NOT 'in the cockpit'.
Are you not aware that a bullet resistant heavily reinforced door separates the cockpit from the cabin in all airliners? It is pretty close to impossible to get through that door.
There was no danger, clearly, other than somebody getting punched, kicked or bit by this dingbat.

There are far too many people being allowed to fly who should be on NO-FLY lists and those lists must be enforced by the airlines.

#12, air marshals are on less than 1% of airline flights.

Given that there are ~45,000 airline flights in the USA every day, if even 1/2 of 1% of the flights had one of this 'crazy flier' incidents, that would be 225 'crazy flier' incidents per day.
Seeing that they seem to pop up in the news maybe once or twice a month, that's say 1-2 per 45,000 x 30 days, or one to two per 1.35 million airline flights. Pretty seriously rare events, somewhere out there with 'struck by lightning'.
