Washington flight diverted after passenger stands on approach

A Continental Airlines jetliner was diverted Friday night after a passenger
reportedly stood in violation of rules for flights entering the nation's
capital, according to The Associated Press. The flight was en route from
Newark, N.J., to Ronald Reagan National Airport outside Washington when it
was diverted to nearby Dulles International, Transportation Safety
Administration spokeswoman Heather Rosenker said. The plane landed safely
at Dulles where police were questioning the passenger, who was not
identified. Other passengers were transported by bus to Reagan National.
Rosenker could not provide further details on the incident. The passenger
allegedly violated rules put in place following the Sept. 11 terrorist
attacks that forbid passengers from standing for the last 30 minutes on
flights into Reagan National, Rosenker said.
