Stupidity is Contagious: Flight from Portugal to Britain diverted
Seattle PI Article

"A passenger flight from Portugal to Britain carrying 108 people was diverted under an air force jet escort Tuesday after a suspicious object was found on board, British police said.

A Ministry of Defense spokeswoman said two air force fighter jets accompanied the Thomson holiday company flight to Britain's Stansted airport, 20 miles northeast of London, where it landed safely at 7:41 p.m.

The flight, with 103 passengers and five crew on board, was en route from the holiday resort of Faro in southern Portugal to Coventry, in England's midlands region, when defense officials sent fighter jets to escort it to Stansted."

STUPID!!!
