The deranged passenger who claimed he had a bomb aboard a New Orleans-bound United Airlines flight and then tried to rush the cockpit, has been identified as a Honduran illegal migrant twice kicked out of the US, immigration officials told The Post. Rony Alexander Gomez-Alberto, 34, was arrested on three separate occasions by Border Patrol for illegally entering the United States, years before he threatened to blow up the United flight 2174 plane out of New Jersey Monday night, a Department of Homeland Security spokesperson said. Immigration officials said that Gomez-Alberto, a Honduras native, was arrested twice in the US and deported – first in September 2011 near El Indio, Texas, and again in October 2014 in Columbus, New Mexico.
