What caused a plane to be grounded:::

A wayward wire later traced to a toilet paper holder.

Thoughts?

What f-ing morons those sky marshals are.

The big man was one of two air marshals traveling under cover. Now, badges visible, they paced the aisles. "We found something questionable on this aircraft that made my partner and I decide to land the aircraft," the marshal announced.

Wonder if they're the new recruits or borrowed IRS agents??

This made anyone safer, How??

Just a tip: Don't make eye contact with the obviously armed marshals - they might think you're a terrorist.

goodness gracious - the beat goes on.

how many sky marshalls does it take to divert a plane?

edit to add ... the article begins withsomething like "jangled nerves of us travelers" cause ... i believe it is the beaureaucrats from the chief on down that are the problem.

Maybe we should now ban toilet paper holders. Unbelievable.
