Did you ever notice how these airline incidents come in waves? This is the third in two days.

Kinda like they're security test runs.

Al Qaida now takes note: Cellphone/lighters OK to carry, just don't let the flight attendant see you.

I've noticed. They do come in waves, like the trains, buses, and now tanker wrecks, appear in spurts. So do bombs in mailboxes, schools, roadsides, etc. New wrinkle was the one thrown over the power co. fence, the other day. Then the powder scares/hoaxes pop up. Groan. Just goes on and on. Then we have thefts of uniforms, ID's, chemicals, explosives and various equipment. Then we'll get the survelience scares, what with the picture taking, filming of various weird places for tourist to be. Not too many of these anymore, guess they've got their targets picked out.

Then we'll have a spate of 'fumes' with folks passing out in stores, malls, airports, etc.

None of it ever amounting to much unless you are one of the ones 'fumed', hoaxed, vomiting, discovering explosives, evacuated, or riding one of the trains/planes/ or following a tanker truck.
