BOSTON - Fighter jets escorted a London-to-Washington, D.C., flight to Boston’s Logan airport Wednesday after the pilot declared an emergency because an apparently claustrophobic passenger caused a disturbance, a federal official said.

Who the F&CK cares.....there are several deversions each and everyday for flights that travel across the Pacific/Atlantic because of health/behavioral issues or mechanicals......The Friggin Media just has to stack this FEAR $hit on us......this story is just another day in the Airline industry...


Am I wrong?????

2. Funnily enough . . .
Fux News was still broadcasting live from the scene well after all the passengers had been taken off by bus, reporting in breathless tones that TSA officials were (gasp!) checking the luggage!

Clearly the apocalypse is nigh.

3. Well it does prove
that we can get planes up in the air to perform escort duties. If, of course, it serves bush's political purposes.

6. Wonder what the response time was on that hysterical lady?
As compared to of, I don't know, say, compared to loss of transponder signal and/or failure to acknowledge radio queries or diversions from assigned flight path for 45 minutes?

5. Test the wisdom of all the new restrictions on carryones
If, indeed, she had matches and screw driver and vaseline and I don't know what coming from the UK where the restrictions have been so great - then perhaps the TSA needs to rethink its prohibition on mascara..
