Terrorist Threat at San Jose Airport

A passenger at Mineta San Jose International Airport was taken off the plane by authorities for being a possible terrorist threat. SFist Truthmaker was at the airport at the time and reports that pretty much the entire airport was shut down, causing his houseguests to miss their flight. And the reason for all the hullabaloo? Apparently, the passenger who had "been acting suspiciously" wrote the words "suicide bomber" in his journal.

It is not reported how someone came to read his journal (new NSA spying program?). Nor what it was in context to. All we can say is our old writing journal with the "Anthrax Rules" sticker on it? Not getting busted out on a plane. Nor will we ever write the words "that (fill in the blank) was da bomb" on our laptop while flying. There is also no mention of what the dude, a 36-year-old Santa Cruz resident, looked like, but we're guessing he didn't exactly have blonde hair and blue eyes.

The man was flying on a Frontier flight from Denver and questioned by the police and FBI. Afterwards, authorities said he was "remorseful" but we can't but help thinking he was probably a little relieved too in that he didn't get shot.
