Looks like racial profiling is starting to rear its ugly head again (not that it entirely went away).

L.A. to London Flight Diverted to Boston

BOSTON (AP) -- A flight from Los Angeles to London was diverted to Boston early Tuesday after three Pakistani passengers were reported acting suspiciously, but nothing amiss was found and the three were released after questioning, authorities said.

Flight 934 landed at Logan International Airport at 2:52 a.m. The three Pakistani citizens were taken into custody and questioned after other passengers complained that they were moving about the cabin, an FBI spokeswoman said.

''Some of the individuals were in first class and another was in coach,'' spokeswoman Gail Marcinkiewicz said, and they were walking between the two sections of the plane.

All three were later released and no charges were filed, she said.

''It's all being resolved,'' she said.

The three passengers were cleared to continue on to London's Heathrow Airport. Flight 934 was to depart Logan around 11 a.m., airport spokesman Phil Orlandella said.

3. Outlandish behavior indeed.

This will only be the beginning of these types of diversions. They are playing on our fears now and it's not going to get any better. That's how they control us. Instill fear and let everyone's paranoia take over.
