Vaseline, a screwdriver, matches--Holy Shit, get the duct tape!
CNN reports that fighter jets escorted the airliner to Logan, where the plane landed without incident.

2. Sold the duct tape at a garage sale.
Had to make room under the bed for all that tuna and powdered milk, and the cat has moved under there too.

8. She's a particularly smart cat who enjoys problem solving
and she has been observed using imporvised tools. May have to move the stash to the gun safe.

6. The whole story was BS! The lady was just claustrophobic!!!!
Geesh! Talk about whipping the Nation in to a terror frenzy!

I was listening to WPTT radio when their news reported that this passenger didn't have any forbidden items and was just freaking out from being in the plane so long. The host Lynn Cullen, asked the news guy "Where does this crap come from?" The news guy said it's a product of wanting to get the story FIRST so everyone goes with the first rumor instead of the first fact!

Sick, sick, sick!!!!

7. It's incredible they sent two fighter jets to escort the plane...
because a woman had claustrophobia, or did the media make up that bit too.

9. So then she wasn't going to use the vaseline and matches
to light her ass on fire?

I'm so confused.
