PRAGUE, Nov 18 (Reuters) - A Czech Airlines (CSA) flight from Prague to New York's John F. Kennedy airport was diverted to Iceland on Tuesday after officials received reports of a bomb threat, a CSA spokeswoman said.

Perhaps the TSA should divert all incoming intl aircraft to Iceland for a thorough inspection until they are sure it's safe for them to enter US airspace. Naturally, inspecting their ID/BP's several times and x-raying their shoes (anyone over age 12) before being allowed to re-boarding.

(Now that would make anyone be able to deal with the Tommy Ridge's security silliness!)
