Fox 2 in Detroit reports that a flight from Amsterdam into Detroit Metropolitan Airport was held on the tarmac after landing because of unruly behavior by some of the passengers.
The source says four men from Saudi Arabai were saying something in Arabic that alarmed four on-board Federal Air Marshals. The Marshals speak Arabic. A decision was made to stop the plane on the tarmac away from the passenger terminal and remove the men from the plane.
Once the men were removed, the rest of passengers were then taken to the terminal for deboarding.
The Transportation Security Administration says the unruly passengers were interviewed by Customs and Border Protection officials.
But the TSA says the passengers were released and no arrests were made.
Delta Air Lines spokeswoman Susan Elliott says the crew of Northwest Flight 243 requested that authorities meet the plane Tuesday after it landed because four passengers didn’t follow their instructions. She says nobody was injured but wouldn’t describe what the passengers were doing

Is it possible that terrorist are engaged in a campaign to identify air marshalls on international/domestic flights? Was there a six passenger with this group whom covertly participated in an observer role in order to note how the air marshalls reveal themselves?
I can’t help wondering why these men were not arrested for making terrorist remarks or shipped immediately back where they came from in handcuffs. If they alarmed the air marshals that should be reason enough. I think we deserve to know what was said.
People need to realize that these people were brought to the U.S. so they could be given legal rights and representation.
You see, Obama’s administration is not fighting to win… not to win against terrorists, anyway. Why WOULDN’T Obama want the option to interrogate terrorists? Why WOULDN’T Obama want to minimize terrorist’s exposure and activities in order to minimize their sympathizer’s collection efforts, which allow them to refine and improve their tactics? Why WOULDN’T Obama put our nation’s security before his political popularity?
We already know why; simply, because he is more concerned about winning re-election than he is about improving the quality of life for ‘We the (legal) People.’
Yes it’s very possible terrorists were observing air marshal protocal in order to exploit weaknesses. However, for every terrorist tactic there is a counter tactic. Whatever trick they have up their sleeve, air marshals will eventually develop a counter. If not, expect a successful bomb plot in the future.
