So as it happens, Scott and I were on the United flight diverted to Chicago today. In fact, the guy pulled off the plane was in the seat right next to Scott.
Long story short, it was much ado about nothing. We weren't scared at all; the guy was obviously big into holistic/Chinese medicines, but he didn't make us nervous at all. It seemed more like a big misunderstanding than anything else. I hope DHS doesn't treat the guy too harshly.
We've been in Chicago for about 2 hours, waiting for them to get everything sorted out. I have to reboard now. Will post more when we get to SF.
