(Newser) – An apparently intoxicated Delta airlines passenger who pounded on the door of the pilot's cabin was detained yesterday by police when the plane landed in Salt Lake City. It was the third security scare in three days on US flights. None of the 164 passengers was harmed by the unruly passenger, though he is being questioned by officials, reports AP.

what people need to realize is that this kind of stuff happens a lot more often than is reported. but anytime we're meant to be distracted or scared to serve the needs of the powers that be, that's when the media begins to dwell on it. this isn't out of the norm, it's just now helping progress the agenda.
