ajc.com | Metro |Delta plane diverted at Hartsfield

This was a flight to Miami. A passenger was "acting suspiciously" (= "looked foreign", I'll bet) and taken off the plane, which left an hour late. The passenger took a later flight. If it wasn't to Miami, I doubt anything would have happened, but people are jumpy.

As for Miami, Herman (in the comments) informs me that the "terrorists" detained in Florida are from three different countries. ("A Jordanian, an Iranian, and a Pakistani walk into a Waffle House...") It's an odd assortment, and 10:1 they're perfectly innocent. And if they're not, they're probably nothing more than a "distraction".
