So, apparently a dude on an airliner from Hong Kong to Newark flipped out and started screaming that he had info from the NSA, he knew people who worked for the CIA, we were being mind-controlled, they were trying to poison us all...
...and he got gang-tackled by his fellow passengers and was carted off by the po-po on landing.
And, like any red-blooded American who's ever seen a single episode of The Twilight Zone, my very first thought was "Huh, his Soma must have worn off." Did he put on a pair of Wayfarers right before his little outburst?
I'm sure they had a nice pod throbbing gently in anticipation in the cell to which they bundled him off.

I wouldn't worry about HIS Pod..... ; )
Even on VFTP, you will eventually read the words "Throbbing gently"
It was bound to happen. WV Arthur Tallyja. Arthur's tallyja was throbbing gently
"But it wasn't until the man reached for something in his pocket that a group of passengers converged and tackled him."
"United said that a passenger became disruptive, but the crew followed procedures and got the situation under control."
Circle squared.
I don't get the link between The Twilight Zone and Brave New World.
The chemtrails, man, it's the chemtrails!

Popular culture is full of scary stories of being The Only (Sane/Real/Free/Human) Person. What would it look like if someone really was that person? Like somebody going crazy on an airliner, I imagine....
Well, the flight path for that route might probably have passed over the North Pole or thereabouts. So, it might have been the cosmic rates that touched him off. Or HAARP in Alaska.
Do things like this tend to happen more on airplanes, or is it just because they are reported more? I've often wondered if the pressurization of the plane is somehow touching off a reaction in some peoples brains and making them freak out.
I know for me, if I ever were to flip out on a plane? It would be being in a small confined space for a long period of time. (Doubly so if I got a chatty stranger for a seatmate).
There's a reason I don't fly, and it's not entirely the TSA screenings...
@Robert: it gets reported more because it's scary! People flip out all the time on the streets and it's never on the news (unless the cops shoot the guy)
And, the real question is, what if this guy HAD met with Snowden and really did fear for his life?
Did they find claw marks on the outside of the fuselage afterward?
I'd be screaming too if I was flying into Newark....
KK,
Congratulations on your shiny new internets!
