Tennessee police arrested a 16 year old boy Tuesday night at a Nashville airport because he reportedly planned to hijack a commercial airliner. Why did babyboy want the airplane? He wanted to crash it into a Hannah Montana concert. Smart.

The unnamed teenage runaway boarded a plane in California with concealed handcuffs, rope and tape, as well as a copy of the flight plan and schedules. Airport police in Cali notified Nashville of a possible threat on the incoming flight.

“Our police unit is in constant communication,” said airport spokeswoman Emily Richard. “We partner with the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) who does all the security screenings here. Of course, the airlines give us heads up as well.”

Investigators said he planned to hijack the plane and order the pilots to divert the course from Nashville to Lafayette, La. The teenager wanted to crash the airliner into a Hannah Montana concert.

He was confronted on the plane and held until it landed.

The teenager was taken to the Davidson County juvenile detention center where he was charged with felony terrorism.

The tip to police likely came from his parents. He supposedly used his mother’s credit card to buy the airline ticket. Sources said he may have made similar threats to do something like this in the past.

The suspect got the date wrong for the concert. It takes place Friday night instead of earlier this week.

Hannah Montana concerts aside, I find it a bit frightening that a 16 year old was able to outwit airport security. I can’t have cuticle scissors in my purse, but that little bastard can get a pair handcuffs on the plane without any problems.
