Spartanburg High Students Have Close Call

I heard about this over the weekend and thought it was odd that 2 F-16′s would be scrambled for a drunk passenger.  I mean, a few passengers on the plane could not man handle a drunken fool?

I did a little digging and found a passenger on the plane that is reporting that, Muhammad Abu Tahir, was wielding a razor when he came out of the bathroom.  This information came via a twitter feed of a passenger on the airplane (@CELLSKI).

Who knows how much truth is behind this, but it definitely goes to question why the media is not sharing all of this information?
