Pilot loses patience after terror-threat delay @ JFK Airport

Terror threats that delayed two airplanes at New York City's John F. Kennedy International Airport this week prompted an intense exchange between the irate American Airlines pilot and the control tower.
"OK. We're surrounded by emergency vehicles, there's a reason for this," the pilot is heard saying in the audio recording of the exchange. "Somebody's got to give us the reason or we're going to evacuate the aircraft. You got 60 seconds."
The planes had been isolated and inspected after someone called in a threat that one official described as a bomb threat and a second official said involved terrorists who were stowed away in the planes' wheel housings.

In the wheel housings? I thought that shit was only in Hollywood movies.
besides the freezing temperatures and lack of oxygen, can a human actually fit in there?

Guys, you have to understand how the industrial security system works. Companies get paid to find and investigate threats. If they don't find and investigate threats, they don't get paid. So, if enough time passes without any threats, care to guess what they might do?

The system has been entirely co-opted by the oligarchs. You want answers? Go ask the Carlyle Group, or whatever security company was in charge of the incident. The government isn't in control.
