WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Police said they believe two tires may have been tampered with on a Northwest Airlines Boeing 757, an incident perhaps related to the nearly week-old mechanics strike against the nation's fourth-largest carrier.

On Wednesday, Northwest employees discovered finding two landing gear tires deflated on a 757-200 aircraft during a preflight inspection at Baltimore-Washington International Airport, the airline said in a statement.

Northwest said no other damage was reported.

The Maryland Transportation Authority Police is investigating the tire deflation as a crime, a spokeswoman said.

"Based on information and evidence collected at the scene, the police believe that the plane was illegally tampered with," Cpl. Pam Thorne said.

The plane arrived at BWI Airport at 6 p.m. ET Tuesday and later was rolled to a holding area. At 11 a.m. Wednesday, two tires seemed to have low air pressure during a routine visual inspection, Thorne said.

As I read the above, all I could think of was "Maryland" and what did it mean to me?????

Then it hit me, that was the Maryland 'Oceanfront Hotel' with all the meta words and the travel plans.

If you will recall I found it searching for Mata6858 's
message about the 3 stars look east. .. post 2213 this thread.

2238 is the link to the hotel, the entire TM page is comments
on it and past that too.

Wish I wasn't having a foggy brain day, have fun, the link is there some where.

The cat compress did not work today.
