BREAKING: Two Men Falsely Claim to Be ‘Air Marshals’ on DC-bound Flight
by Publius

Alert readers have reported that their flight, United Airlines 3681, from St. Louis to Washington Dulles had to make an emergency return to the gate as it prepared for take-off. According to local officials, it was found that two men who had boarded the plane as ‘federal air marshals’ didn’t have the proper credentials. Passengers were deplaned, all luggage was removed and re-scanned. All passengers were also re-screened. Passengers are now in the process of re-boarding. There is no word on the two ‘air marshals.’

BigGovernment has contacted security officials in St. Louis. We will report back what we hear. Interestingly, we understand that Oliver North is on the flight, as well.

An interview with one of the passengers is below:

Couple of morons that wanted a free ride.

Well, did they have boarding passes or did they make it through the top notch TSA security checkpoint w/o one? A few assumptions can be made for various different things.

An unattended Ryder rental truck caused some tense moments at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport Sunday afternoon.

Part of Terminal B was closed for two hours as airport security and the FBI located and questioned the driver of a Penske rental truck left unattended outside Terminal B-38, according to airport spokesman David Magana.

"There were things found inside the truck that prompted further investigation," said Magana. "These gentlemen are stunt performers, they had pyrotechnics in the truck. The types of things you'd associate with a stunt show."

FBI official Kevin Gentry says after questioning it became clear the truck was driven by a member of the crew of the Discovery Channel show "Sons of Guns." He says investigators had been suspicious because the man in the Penske truck had said "I got a couple of guns."

Authorities also found an automatic weapon and pistol, both of which were legally registered and there were no firearm violations according to the airport.

Gentry says it rapidly became clear the man was simply waiting for another member of the show's crew. The two are headed to El Paso, Texas, and then on to Albuquerque, New Mexico to film the show.

Gentry says the scare is "nothing." He says it "all checked out."

Apparently the driver of the truck was oblivious to the heightened security in light of the anniversary of 9/11. The incident happened near the location where volunteers greet the daily arrival of U.S. troops from the Middle East as they come home for rest and recuperation, according to Magana.

"You can only describe it as being unaware," said Magana. "Apparently there are people unaware of what our nation is going through."

The driver of the truck will not face charges and did not receive a ticket.

No flights were canceled and operations inside the airport were not affected. "We're in the process of deescalating the situation," said Magana.

An earlier version of this report stated that it was a Ryder rental truck, this information from the Associated Press was incorrect, it was a Penske rental truck.

I've got a rental truck full of guns & flammable materials, I'll go ahead and leave it unattended at an airport on the 10th anniversary of 9/11

"You can only describe it as being unaware," said Magana.

I like this quote... a nice and gentle way of saying you're a fucking brainless idiot.

How is it not abundantly clear who the air marshal's are? They board before everyone else and have guns...
