"Nothing came of the phone, but this makes one wonder where it came from? How could it just be there on that flight with no owner? It would have to have been left from a previous flight. Sooooo, long story short, if a phone can be left, what else?"

Ever since my son developed diabetes, I've wondered what else someone can get on the plane. I have no problem getting around nor getting into any building and in the past 2-1/2 years, only one security guard asked about a pair of scissors that are kept in his supply bag. Now, his bag isn't one of the normal diabetes supply bags, it looks like a little doctor's bag and he keeps all his needles, scissors to cut open a tube of glucose should he need to, lancets and insulin vials. While the insulin needs to be in it's original prescription box, with the numbers of people suffering from diabetes, it can't be all that hard to get ahold of prescription boxes and insulin vials. Who's to say it's actually insulin? Far-fetched, I know, but this is what happens when you're running low on sleep...

That is interesting, no one has brought that up yet as far as I know. That insulin vial could be filled with something to knock out the flight crew (in the cabin) and/or the marshal's if on board. (hopefully those cockpit doors are now closed and locked) Or, worst case scenario some other kind of bio.....don't want to think about that but it is possible if they have it.

Now, what is the solution? What would they do for the people with diabetes who need their supplies? This type of medication would have to be brought on board.
