Two men were removed from a flight headed from Washington, DC to Boston after the flight crew reported the men were acting suspiciously, according to a spokesperson for American Airlines.

After the crew cleared the plane of passengers, Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority officers arrived with a K-9 unit, police spokesman Jonathon Freye said.
One hundred and fifteen passengers boarded the plane again, which departed for Boston.
The flight originated from Washington D.C.’s Reagan National Airport.
Police found nothing out of the ordinary, Freye said, and the aircraft reboarded with 115 passengers.
Released from questioning, what are these newly-minted “non-suspicious” individuals to do?

Flight-tracking data said the airplane left National at 5:30 p.m., two hours after its scheduled departure. They report this to the airline, which requests that all passengers deplane.
