An Emirates Airlines flight which was on a JFK Airport taxiway was asked to return to a gate. NBC New York says, "Senior government officials confirm that authorities are responding to security incident at John F. Kennedy Airport. The nature of the incident is not yet known, but sources tell NBC that an Emirates flight ready to take off to Dubai was asked to return to the gate this afternoon." On Monday, bomb suspect Faisal Shahzad was apprehended on an Emirates JFK-Dubai flight; even though he was on the no-fly list, he managed to get on (the U.S. government and Emirates differ on what happened).
Update: Initially it was thought a no-fly passenger was on board—according to the Post, "The FAA said the plane, Emirates Airlines flight 204, was blocked at about noon by US Customs and Border Patrol vehicles and Port Authority cops on the runway"—but it was a case of mistaken identity. And nerves?
