Security threat at IAH
 
Sitting on my plane as we board flight 667 for Seattle and boarding stopped and jetway pulled back due to a security threat.

Anyone have any idea what is going on?

Just arrived on 1706 and they won't let us off the plane either.

Captain just came back on, saying no more news was given about the security breach so we are all just sitting at the gate, waiting to finish boarding so we can get going

From multiple reports on Twitter:

Apparently, some guy blew through security. Passengers aren't allowed to gates C14 to C27 or E12 to E24.

Why is the TSA so incompetant that they can't tackle a guy. Having to shut down a whole airport for something like this is ridiculous.

From my understanding, TSA has no power to detain. They can only alert real policemen to the problem.

Hartmann was told to go through the naked machine, flipped out, and made a break for the P Club :)

Yep, somebody skipped security screening at C. Heard about it through an acquaintance who has been tweeting about it, including pictures of the mess in C right now.

they did this at DTW when I was boarding in the B concourse, they shut down the tunnel and everything, all for some delievery guy going in the wrong entrance or something...

Can you post the pictures or their Twitter handle to check it all out?

Correct. Still, ridiculous that they can't control the space that they're in charge of.

"FREEZE, because I yelled it"

"STOP, because he yelled it"

this is dangerous though, could be used as justification for LEO powers for the TSA....it's all a conspiracy!
