In what can only be described as an embarrassment to the passenger, and as a source of potential new threats to the TSA, an American Airlines jet was forced to land in Nashville, because of an episode of “passenger flatulence”.
According to the article:
An American Airlines flight was forced to make an emergency landing Monday morning after a passenger lit a match to disguise the scent of flatulence, authorities said.
In the never-ending struggle to keep the skies safe, the DHS announced that in addition to gathering your SSN, Driver’s License Number, DOB, credit card data, mortgage payment, and names of your firstborn, they will now be asking what you had for lunch, prior to your boarding the aircraft.
What a country.

Dude! You totally rock!
I actually came to your site after having just clicked to read the CNN coverage of that story on GMail’s web clip. I thought, “Ken needs to know about this. Let me go to his site and inform him about it.” Imagine my amazement when it was the latest entry!
I bow to your superior TWAC abilities! I have shirked my King TWAC responsibilities for too long and you’ve won.
Hail Ken, new King of the TWACs!
BTW, I was going to suggest you need a contact page or some automated way that we can, um, pass,
things we see on the web that you might be interested on covering on your here blog. But it is clear you need no such contact page. Your way of getting the news that matter is working just fine.
You’re doing a heckuva job, Brownie!
