Two planes were diverted Sunday after separate security incidents, one of which saw an “unruly” passenger try to open the plane’s exit door mid-flight. The event occurred on a Continental flight from Houston to Chicago. A flight attendant stopped the passenger, and the plane landed in St. Louis so that he could be arrested. Separately, a plane from Detroit to San Diego had to land in Albuquerque, New Mexico, after a flight attendant discovered a suspicious note in its restroom.
