Anyone familiar with the classic Zone episode "The Monsters are Due on Maple Street"? That's what this flight diversion today reminds me of: Give people a reason to worry and watch the paranoia set in.
A 60-year-old woman has an anxiety attack on a flight from London. The flight was diverted from DC to Boston and the woman is now under arrest. Meanwhile the stories on the plane ranged from her having a bottle of vasiline, a screwdriver and a note about Al Qaeda to three suspicious men on board.
In response to the issue the issue, a Massachusetts congressman said that more planes will be turned around because of the terrorist no-fly list. This had nothing to do with the list!
And people wonder why I wonder about the warings from Camp Dubaya...
