| Quote: | | An American Airlines flight carrying 99 passengers made an emergency landing in Nashville earlier this week after passengers reported a strange scent that smelled like struck matches. Indeed, the offending odor did come from struck matches. After being questioned by FBI officers, however, a Dallas woman on the flight "admitted she struck the matches in an attempt to conceal body odor," writes The Tennessean of Nashville. The Washington Post (free registration) writes that the woman "had been striking matches to mask evidence of a troubled digestive system." The Washington Ronald Reagan National-to-Dallas/Fort Worth flight eventually took off again, but the woman was not on board. "American has banned her for a long time," says Lynne Lowrance, a spokeswoman for the Nashville International Airport Authority. Though the woman could have faced charges, Lowrance adds that the none were filed. "While it is legal to bring as many as four books of paper safety matches onto an aircraft, it is illegal to strike a match in an airplane,"the Tennessean writes. |

That's crazy. How'd you like to be the one sitting next to her.

Well if it weren't for the matches, people would have thought someone had another substance in the plane. You know some sort of bomb.
