American Passengers Forced To Place Hands On Heads For Landing Before Being Detained

Hands up, don’t shoot. American Airlines “ordered passengers on a flight from Los Angeles to Miami on Wednesday to put their hands on their heads” for the last 45 to 60 minutes of the flight “because of a potential security threat.” On arrival in Miami, the plane was boarded by law enforcement with machine guns.

One man was arrested, but that wasn’t the end because when passengers were finally permitted to deplane they were held in the terminal.
