Several incidents of testing across the country. It's 9/11, and the non-natives are restless.

#9  I'd hope for some Tarmac Justice™. Let every delayed and inconvenienced passenger take a free shot on the dipshits causing these in lieu of economic damage suits. Sounds fair to me - I'd go for the trachea

#8  Frontier Airline flight 623 was escorted by 2 F-16 jets this afternoon on a flight landing at Detro Metro airport.According to a statement released by Frontier, flight 623, which originated in San Diego, was diverted from the gate in Detroit after landing at 3:30 p.m., and passengers were taken to a remote area of the airport for questioning.
When police boarded the plane guns drawn they told passengers to put their heads down and their hands on the seat in front of them. Two men and one woman all seated in the same row were removed first by authorities. All of the detained passengers, including the three who were first taken off the plane, have been released.

#6  Airline food?

Any one remember if any domestic airline provides food other than peanuts or a snack box?

#5  Sometimes it may simply help to communicate... often an excusing eye contact with a flight attendant can help.

#4  "after a man went to the bathroom twice"

Lots of Diet Coke (or, I suppose, any caffeinated beverage) will do that.

There must be something more.

#2  Flight attendants had become spooked after a man went to the bathroom twice, once while the plane was on the ground and once while in flight, Southwest officials said.

As a guy with ulcerative colitis, I find this disheartening.
