Will it ever end.....

It's so sad that here we are on "high alert" and this stuff still gets by. Can you imagine what gets by when we're not.

Matches in your carry-on?



My purse. I didn't even realize they were in there. I don't smoke so I don't normally have matches/lighters. I took this set from a restaurant to use for my candles and didn't even realize I had them.



WOW. It seems like that can't possible check every single thing and person. this is nuts

I'm watching the video on CNN.com and they have all the luggage from the plane laid out on the tarmac and having a dog sniff each bag

Now they are saying she said she had clostrophobia and that is why she filliped out. There is also speculation that she was a "copy cat" of the orginial plot.

Bottom line...no one knows W T F is going onChat Icon

How frightening! With all this talk of heightened security, plenty of stuff is still getting by.

I flew home on the day the plot was uncovered.

My stuff when through the xray machine, but I didn't get searched. I had lipgloss, matches from a restaraunt that I visited in Chicago, and probably some other liquids.

Exactly. I also just read about a 12 year old boy that got onto a plane at London's Gatwick Airport today without a ticket and passport! How the heck did that happen?

I think all the news channels are speculating based on very limited details. I am sure we will find out more later.
Now the director of the TSA denied the reports about the note, screwdriver, matches and vasiline. The TSA director is saying she was clostrophobic and freaked out.

ETA: that is what the journalist said, I did not see the TSA director speak yet

Let's face it - How many times have you gone on a plane and when your bags were going through the machines they look quickly and then turn their heads and start talking to other employees.

Re: United Airlines flight rerouted to D.C. after in-flight altercation

now the AP is reporting no issue of terrorism, she had claustrophobia and freaked. Other passengers got involved, the air marshalls on board diffused the situation, and the piolits asked for the escort consdering that things got out of hand.

Eta: all of the passengers are now being questioned and the air marshals are being debriefed. I am sure we will have the truth soon enough.

I guess that would be two thumbs up for London airport security? First the 12 year old boarding a plane alone with no ticket and now this.

Re: United Airlines flight rerouted to D.C. after in-flight altercation

I can see "oops I left my vaseline in my bag"

or "oops my matches were in my pocketbook"

but not "whoopsie, I left my vaseline, matches screwdriver, and my Note to Al-Quaeda in my bag. My bad!"

Come on now. "Claustrophobia" my behind!
