[AGL] false alarm or maybe an over-reaction

[Frances Morey]

On NPR there was something about cell phone use being the reason that the authorities were alerted, and also about how there wasn't enough probable cause to detain them for very long. 
  My Amtrak ride to NYC is going to be late--instead of leaving Erie at  5:39 a.m., due to "a storm in Indiana" the train won't get here until 10:00 a. m. So much for my love affair with train travel. I was being driven to the station by Pat Holman when I called ahead and got the news. Oh well, back to bed...
  Best,
  Frances

  Not much additional info on the Northwestern flight.
One of the passengers said that a dozen passengers
were passing cellphones around and changing their seats.

Dutch cops are interviewing them.

Jon, tell us please why you are going to Delhi. As
a tourist? Do the Indians have you fill out a card
with a space for "motive of the trip" like when
one goes to France?
