(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...

Or, she could have been abducted by brain-sucking aliens and been replaced by a pod in mid-air...
:p
What a raving leftist nutjob. Wonder what her posting name is on DU and Daily Kos-freaks??
For those of you who have been in Pakistan, I want to let you know about the latest developments. Smoking is now prohibited in public places. By ‘public places’ they don’t mean parks or sidewalks, they just mean inside public places. So I’m really not sure what they are talking about. The police are on a new campaign to get people to drive properly. Right now they are working on getting people to stop at stoplights on the other side of the pedestrian walkways. I think the next project is to forbid U turns, but I don’t know if they will ever get to that. The rains have started. I guess that’s about it. Oh, and the whole of Pakistan was cut off from the Internet for about 12 hours. A major investigation is underway to figure out why that happened.
Ugh....did you read the post?
Did you note that the posted article I referenced was not the woman on the flight....
Do you read?
I got something here for you to grip....
prolly her
Then while on board coming back to the US she realized exactly what were fighting against and he poor whittle wiberal mind got all fuzzed and meltdown followed.
Here's a 2003 online forum where they are ripping Cathy Mayo up and down, for a stupid article she wrote from Pakistan...

She was providing specific information for the Gitmo Glee Club.
As an aside, Cat Stevens now goes by the Muslim name Yusuf Islam.
Wouldn't doubt it for a second. But that letter was disturbing in it's pendulous swings of logic and counterlogic. This is a really screwed up woman.
Gotta run. Reflecting on this thread, all I can say is "the plot thickens". When I get back in a couple hours, I expect to be reading the stunning new revelations all of you have unearthed while I'm out.
I hope that when I wear out this Cat Stevens album it won’t be too difficult to get another one. The folksongs of the 1960s will never be written again because of President George Bush. He has hampered the liberties of my country in the name of September 11. Songs now can only talk of patriotism, they cannot mention peace.
The woman is barking mad.
But that doesn't mean there isn't some method in her madness.
She claims to have had a Pakistani boyfriend -- "Junaid" (credit to kaboom for this this information). Says he couldn't get a "visitor visa" to enter the US. Why not? Terrorism ties?
"I was in Vermont on 9/11, listening to Vermont Public Radio,"
Well, I think you've nailed it.
I am surprised reporters aren't trying to get a statement from her ex-husband.
According to veromi it looks like she's been married to a William Mayo who is in his early sixties. He seems to have had some association with Norwich University which is a school with a military tradition. He also may be associated with the Mayo Senior Assisted Living Center.
hmmm...I wonder if there is any association with Mayo Clinic? A lot of trust fund babies live up in that neck of the woods.
Sorry, she is not the typical marxist moonbat. Hardcore Leninist:

He also stopped singing - I think there was talk of his doing another album recently, but I don't know if he did. The bottom line is that the insane death cult doesn't really approve of music.
Not sure she wrote the unreadable Leninist clap-trap at your link, however. Her article, with her picture, is posted underneath it. Underneath hers is a piece by Nat Hentoff. I could be wrong, but I think someone else wrote the Leninist rubbish at the top of the page.
