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?

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.

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.
