San Francisco, one of the famous “sanctuary cities,” has found itself the victim of computer sabotage by one of its own employees….but the Leftist Democrats running the city still can’t see the potential dangers of not securing our borders…What if it hadn’t been just a disgruntled employee?

FoxNews is breaking the news right now that a possible hijack attempt occurred on a United Airlines flight from Heathrow to Dulles. It was diverted to Boston’s Logan Airport after a woman claiming claustrophobia caused a disturbance on the flight. Initial reports are saying that she might have had a screwdriver, Vasoline (petroleum jelly), matches, and a paper referencing Al-Qaeda on her.
The story is just breaking, so stay tuned for more…
UPDATE: The flight was intercepted and escorted to the airport by two F-15s from Otis Air National Guard Base after a call from the pilot reporting a disturbance on the plane.
UPDATE: The TSA is saying there is “no link to terrorism.” According to an analyst, he is suggesting that the fact that passengers were deplaned using the stairway rather than via the emergency slides would tend to back this up.
UPDATE: Turns out it was a 60-year old woman who wigged out for one reason or another, but there is apparently no connection whatsoever to terrorism. The one good result of this is that the system worked the way it was supposed to: everyone followed procedures and those procedures seemed to deal with the situation quite effectively. Kudos to the flight crew, TSA, FBI and military for a job well coordinated and well done.
