This is the best.

An American Airlines flight bound for Dallas-Fort Worth was forced to divert to Nashville Tenn. when passengers reported the smell of burning matches.

After a search, safety matches were found in a passenger’s seat.

Ok, not really funny yet but it gets better. Was she trying to smoke? No. Was she trying to light her shoes like Richard Wright? Nope. Here it comes — Nashville Airport Authority spokeswoman Lynne Lowrance said, “It turns out she was trying to conceal body odor”.

As the kids all say WTF?????

Krispy Kremes Are A Terrorist Weapon?

And here I thought the only danger posed by a Krispy Kreme doughnut was that they were essentially heart attacks in a sugar glaze. Now we hear that they fall under the banned items at airport checkins at Heathrow (LHR). It’s not all bad news, the ban doesn’t apply to the standard “ring” doughnuts, just the filled variety.

Seems there’s a risk that an enterprising fanatic could fill the pastries with some unspecified concotion that could be used to blow up an airplane.

Have we really sunk to this level of paranoia?
