Miley Cyrus' Biggest Fan Ever

Miley Cyrus may have found her number one fan — and he is a would-be teen terrorist. On Tuesday, the 16-year-old superfan went so far as to plan to hijack a plane and crash into an arena where Miley was scheduled to perform, PageSix reports.

Fortunately for everyone involved, however, the uber-fan was confronted midair before he put his plan into action. He was found with handcuffs, duct tape and a rope — not to mention the plane's flight plan — and was arrested upon landing in Nashville. Despite all his planning, however, the teen would have missed his target: Miley's show wasn't scheduled to go on until Friday. — Anna Dimond

My question is, how was he allowed on a plane with "handcuffs, duct tape and a rope"? Isn't this something security should catch before getting on the plane? I can't have a bottle of shampoo on a plane but this kid can bring three things you can restrain people with?

Excellent question, ahigh01. OTOH, with that shampoo, you might just lather someone to death. :|

Poor Miley Cyrus. I've dealt with a few creepy people in my past, but nobody who planned to kidnap me after crashing a plane into the building that I was in. It's lucky for her that he apparently can't read a calendar.

Wow...suddenly 50 Cent getting shot up just doesn't sound as hardcore. Miley was targeted for terrorism. Now that's gangsta!

duct tape and a rope are not prohibited items. airlines get many people traveling to job sites, working construction and such, and therefore these items are necessary to perform their jobs. handcuffs, you may assume, are a different story. but you should see some of the stuff people bring to Vegas... they are not illegal either.

and while the "shampoo" thing may seem inane, it has to do with liquid explosives and the amount it takes to detonate.

don't comment on what you don't thoroughly understand.
