33. Bangor is the major American airport closest to Europe...

Whenever there's an air rage incident on a trans-Atlantic flight, the plane gets diverted to Bangor - apparently it's become a fairly lucrative source of income for both Bangor International Airport and the Penobscot County Sheriff's Office. I'm sure they want the landing fees, service contracts, and, in the case of air rage or other malfeasance, legal fees.

Still, it would be nice if they'd give the Watch List at least a cursory glance BEFORE the plane takes off...
