A CHILEAN passenger has been detained on a flight from Madrid to London after he was found to be in possession of two knives.

Spanish police today said the unnamed man was removed from an EasyJet flight which eventually left for London 70 minutes late.

According to police, the man was carrying two penknives and was making "references to the end of the world" just minutes before takeoff from Madrid's Barajas international airport.

The plane's captain aborted takeoff and called police, who removed the Chilean.

1. Now this is very interesting considering the so called conspiracy

theorist have remarked about the date of the Pinochet coup, 9/11 1973. What a mess 1973 was, globally many conflicts.

2. What a piker!

If they carry guns, belong to highly suspicious crypto-religious-paramilitary groups, and make constant references to the end of the world here in the US, we give them jobs in the Justice Department!

3. do these terror experts realize that a car key

can kill one just as well and efficiently as a penknife?
when are these people going to start taking things seriously?

4. I told a flight attendant

that I would take on any terrorist with the swizzle stick she gave me with my double dutch courage on the rocks!

5. I can kill with a single finger...

Okay, so I've got to not wash it for a while and then use it to prepare food, but it is deadly.
