US787 CDG to CLT diverted due to TSA "Security Issue"
Breaking news on CNN
US Airways says jet from Paris to Charlotte, N.C., diverted to Bangor, Maine, because of unspecified "security issue."
"Suspicious Passenger" is the word they are using.

Can anyone add anything helpful here?
I am supposed to be on the flight from CLT to CDG tomorrow. I take this route every month.
Does anyone know if this was a PHL crew or a CLT crew?
Watching CNN now.
Anything would be helpful.
thanks.

Cut and pasted from CNN.com
"US Airways Flight 787 has landed safely in Bangor," the Transportation Security Administration said in a statement. "TSA is aware of reports of a passenger who exhibited suspicious behavior during flight. Out of an abundance of caution the flight was diverted to BGR where it was met by law enforcement."
It's a shame that we can not harness the abundant caution that seems to be self regenerating. If we could hook it up to a turbine we'd have unlimited free power.

A U.S. official says the initial reports said a female passenger appeared to be mentally unstable.

BTW. if it was just a "mentally unstable" person, why do you have to evacuate the whole plane? Security theatre at work?
