Oh. From Vermont.

Airliner diverted to Logan amid fears over Vt. passenger - The Boston Globe:
Local stations and national cable television networks interrupted regular programming for live coverage. Early reports based on law enforcement sources said Mayo was carrying a note mentioning Al Qaeda, but the reports were later found to be false. Authorities said a search found that she was carrying a Phillips-head screwdriver, hand lotion, and matches. Only the matches are permitted in carry-on baggage.
Well that explains everything then. You've gotta watch those Vermont women, no telling what they'll be up to next.

I don't understand, though, quite, why matches are allowed but hand lotion's not. Maybe the screwdriver. But on the other hand, if something goes wrong with your airplane a Vermont woman with a screwdriver is probably just the thing you need.

And another thing I don't understand. Why is it when they have an airplane they think is too dangerous to land in, like, Washington, they send it to Boston instead? Maybe it's for the chowda or something, I don't know. But if I lived in Boston I wouldn't be all happy about that.
