United flight diverted to Boston
A female passenger with a screwdriver, matches, vasoline, and a note referenceing Al Qaeda diverts a plane to Boston. The fight was coming from London and headed towards Washington. I think this is hilarious. Who is this woman, Macgyver's sister? This is all that cable news is covering right now.

Latest report says she did not have those items after all. When terrorists strike, cable news wins.

It will be interesting to see where that screwdriver information came from. Crude propaganda like that makes me sigh. [/ QUOTE ] I'm sure there was an evil plan in effect here. There is no way someone could have just overheard something, passed it along, and spread a rumor. It must be some massive conspiracy.

Re: United flight diverted to Boston
This just in from BBC News online:
[ QUOTE ] But reports that she was carrying items including a screwdriver, Vaseline, matches and a note referring to al-Qaeda have been denied. [/ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] Nenette Day, a spokeswoman for the Federal Bureau of Investigation in Boston, said the 60-year-old woman was apparently claustrophobic and had become disruptive on the flight. "There are no known links to terrorism regarding this event at this time," Christopher White, a Transportation Security Administration spokesman said. [/ QUOTE ]

Well, that's it. I'm sticking to rum and coke on international flights. If I order a screwdriver, I might get arrested.
