new MO for terrorists?

[d_b disclaimer here]

Apparently a woman on an American Airlines flight couldn't hold her gas and, uh, flatulated. As some are wont to do, in order to distinguish the accompanying offal, she lit a match. Oops. Plane was landed and she was escorted off.

This prompts a couple of questions:

First, how the hell did she get on the plane with matches in the first place?

Second, are we now to screen passenges to see if they've eaten refried beans?

 

All kidding aside, when is TSA gonna wake up and realize what a joke they are?
I'm sure they are still convinced what good they do, but all it is is a show.

 

The B-52's had their own Private Idaho.

Terrorists have their own Private Missouri now.

 

You can carry on a certain number of matches. Always been able to.

 

So you have to keep a collection of canaries around, huh Mr. I?

 

We're onto something here... terrorists lighting their farts to set fires in the cabins. The ensuing panic among passengers causes several hundred pounds of weight to shift in the cabin just as the plane hits turbelence making the captain lose control of the plane, throwing into a dive it can't get out of. [sarcasm]

 

If that one dude had known he could light a fart instead of his shoes, he might have been successful. I mean, no amount of wrestling by the other passengers would have guaranteed the flame not to come in contact with a cloud of methane, right?

 

Dude who's your girl? Fartwoman? I don't mind a girl who busts one every now and then, but I don't know about one who's killing things with her ass gas
