AP reports: “A flight from Los Angeles to London was diverted to Boston early Tuesday because three Pakistani passengers were acting suspiciously, but nothing amiss was found and the three were released after questioning, authorities said.”

Better safe than sorry. Period.

United Airlines Flight 934 landed in Boston shortly before 3 a.m., Logan Airport spokesman Phil Orlandella said.

The three Pakistani men were taken into custody and questioned after other passengers complained that they were moving about the cabin, FBI spokeswoman Gail Marcinkiewicz said.

“Some of the individuals were in first class and another was in coach,” and they were walking between the two sections of the plane, she said.

Weighing the concerns for public safety, a matter of life and death, choices need to be made without regard for “political sensitivity.” It’s the way of the world today, thanks to terrorism.

However, as Michelle Malkin quips, “I can hear the stampede of ACLU lawyers already.”
