Authorities arrested a 16-year-old boy accused of attempting to hijack a plane.
From the New York Times (h/t Ben Norris):
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Authorities believe a teen accused of plotting to hijack a plane was suicidal, and a judge was scheduled to decide Friday whether to keep him in custody.
The 16-year-old, who has not been identified by authorities, was removed from a Southwest Airlines flight Tuesday night at Nashville International Airport. He was being held at a juvenile detention facility.
FBI spokesman George Bolds told The Associated Press the teen had handcuffs, rope and duct tape in his bag, and was believed to be traveling alone.
The teen was calm during the flight from Los Angeles and made no apparent attempt to commandeer the plane, Bolds said. He could not comment further on the teen’s mental condition because he is a minor.
Apparently, according to initial reports, the teen had planned on crashing the plane in Lafayette, Louisiana:
Federal prosecutors were still reviewing the case and had not filed any charges as of Friday morning, said David Boling, spokesman for the U.S. Attorney’s office in Middle Tennessee.
The FBI dismissed broadcast reports Thursday night that the teen was planning to crash the plane into a ”Hannah Montana’‘ concert in Lafayette, La.
What???

In 20 years or so, when this generation is the one running the country, we’re all screwed, aren’t we?
You have to wonder who exactly created the bizarre rumor that the plane was to be crashed into a Hannah Montana concert. It’s so absurd that I suppose the media HAD to pay attention.
Erik – In 20 years or so, I hope it’ll be the Miley Cyrus types running things and not these suicidal and confused morons. I was at the Hannah show in Lafayette last night and the place was filled with very solid and grounded kids…Miley is a good influence.
