If they have to divert to BIH can't they just skip TSA and treat it as an intl flight and make everyone go through TBIT? I am sure this is highly illegal, but hey, it sucks to divert back to where you started.
There's more to it than that. The actual airport surface has to be able to support the aircraft. Then it has to have the required firefighting capability. Bishop, for all intents and purposes, can't fund that kind of upgrade.
