About the only factual statement in this thread so far is:
The problem is/was that the aircraft (QF's not the US governments) had a technical problem preventing departure.
End of story.
Does anyone have any first hand or factual contribution? If not, I'm happy to move this thread to JetBlast and you can continue to dribble bile at QF, US Government, airport security or anyone else that tickles your fancy!
And you all wonder why Moderators hate Qantas threads!!!
