(CBS4) BOSTON Criminal charges could be filed Thursday against a Vermont woman who caused a disturbance aboard a London-to-Virginia jet that was diverted to Logan Airport.
59-year-old Catherine Mayo is being held by federal authorities in Boston.
Investigators say she was a claustrophobic passenger who became upset and interfered with the flight crew on United Airlines flight 923 Wednesday morning. The pilot declared an in-flight emergency and landed the plane at Logan. The Boeing 767 was escorted by two F-15 jets based out of Otis Air National Guard Base on Cape Cod.
Passengers say Mayo paced the aisles and peppered her incoherent mutterings with the word "Pakistan." They said two plainclothes men on board and flight attendants tackled the woman. She was handcuffed while the flight was diverted.
After a day filled with conflicting reports about what she was carrying, an FBI spokeswoman confirmed Mayo had a screwdriver, lighters and matches when she was subdued...

OK, what I want to know is, how in the world did she get this stuff past security? Especially on an international flight? Something smells here...
I don't like captains coming out.
He was the one taking up all the time in the john.

She was in Pindi, Pakistan on March 1, 2003:

Good question! I bet this woman is the walking dead. I don't think her boyfriend will like this a bit. OTOH, seriously: she could have a brain tumor or seizure disorder or maybe had a stroke.

Witnesses:')
Tie-land?
Me either. They probably shouldn't come out unless there is an absolute, immediate threat to passenger's lives. Even still, at that point what could he/she do? We don't need terrorists acting like crazy crackheads peeing on the floor to lure the captain out and then hijacking the plane.
Pakistan boyfriend + female convert to Islam = trouble
lonely western, low IQ, female, is seduced into Islam = an easy way to bypass the preflight security....
I forgot about that. Could be another of those early issued statements that is actually true.
No, not like a geodome. Shaped more like a cupcake. Actually hard to describe but you can find pictures and floorplans(!) on the web.
They're supposed to be very energy efficient and strong but I guess that would describe geodomes as well.
Most of it seems to be true, but I didn't catch any mention of her saying something about al Qaida or having it written down in a note or the like... Just that she kept muttering the word "Pakistan".
Even with threats to life they have got to let the cabin staff handle it. We need them to get the plane safely down.
What a nutjob!
Was there a full moon this week?
See post #183. That article has a lot of good info.
