Wouldn’t be the first time someone got in trouble over a little pussy in an airplane lavatory...

I hope she has to pay for the fighter jets and the schedule disruption of all the passengers

Spectacular over reaction on everybody’s part. Right cross to the jaw, tie her up. What they did is take political correctness to the n-th power. (Every threat is equal, don’t-cha-know.)

‘She said that she was part of the mafia and that the mafia follows her around the world and that she was able to bring the plane down if that needed to be the case if she couldn’t see her cat.’

Probably good they got her off a transatlantic flight

They can do that because our society has money to burn.

those fighter jets wouldn’t stand a chance against a CAT if it hadn’t been locked up in the can

“They can do that because our society has money to burn.”

The sheriff of a nearby county where I own rentals regularly uses his SWAT unit with their 6-ton tank to arrest people. In most cases they used to send one deputy. But now they have a SWAT and the crew gets extra danger pay. Money to burn, for sure.

The FBI said the woman was not arrested or taken into custody, and that the incident was a 'misunderstanding'.

This story's version of a misguided yoot?

Every time I see that scene, I think of the opening credits to the TV series “Batman.”

Ridiculous!

There’s a direct flight from Las Vegas to Frankfurt?
