Plane Diverted by Passenger Problem

A US Airways plane from Pittsburgh to Reagan Washington National Airport was diverted to Washington Dulles International Airport because of an unruly passenger, the Federal Aviation Administration said Monday

This is interesting because of:

Passengers cannot leave their seats during the last 30 minutes of any flight into Reagan National under new security rules

and

"an air marshal jumped up with his gun and subdued him."

and

all the passengers "were ordered to put our hands above our heads, and then we were quickly diverted to Washington-Dulles."
