Flatulence leads to flight diversion

NASHVILLE - Flatulence brought 99 passengers on an American Airlines
flight to an unscheduled visit to Nashville early Monday morning.

American Flight 1053, from Washington Reagan National Airport and bound
for Dallas/Fort Worth, made an emergency landing here after passengers
reported smelling struck matches, said Lynne Lowrance, a spokeswoman
for the Nashville International Airport Authority.

The plane landed safely. The FBI, Transportation Safety Administration
and airport authority responded to the emergency, Lowrance said.

The passengers and five crewmembers were brought off the plane,
together with all the luggage, to go through security checks again.
Bomb-sniffing dogs found spent matches.

The FBI questioned a passenger who admitted she struck the matches in
an attempt to conceal body odor, Lowrance said. The woman lives near
Dallas and has a medical condition.

The flight took off again, but the woman was not allowed back on the
plane.

"American has banned her for a long time," Lowrance said.

She was not charged but could have been. 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, Lowrance said.

Lighting matches is a method sometimes individuals will try to use to
burn the gas from flatulence (farting)

Letterman wannabe's reaction:

10.--1. Not exactly the expected USA TODAY headline: "TSA Says
Farting, Yes: Lighting Match, No"

How about the first sentence after the Nashville byline: "NASHVILLE -
Flatulence brought ....."
Or the title "Flatulence leads to flight diversion". I guess they felt they
did not need to repeat it further.

I wonder why this lady chose to cover the smell with matches rather than air
freshner, etc. Very odd.
