(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...

In all fairness she's definitely a Lib that could easily be suffering serious effects of 'the change'. I've personally been on the receiving end of such unexplainable behavior from an ex going through that, but "I was the one 'out of my mind'.. A lot of friends saw what I too.
"A lot of trust fund babies live up in that neck of the woods."
Ha. See my #159.
Maybe I was the first to find Mayo's "Dear Senator Byrd" letter, along with the pulling-down-one's-pants connection.
(Not mere coincidence, I think, that she apparently uses the quote as a credo, and then puts it into action on the plane.)
OK!! I give up.
What was the first clue? [sarc]
Ruh-roh, sorry for that misadventure of yours. Change is not a nice thing, at times. I say the People Republic of Commiecrats needs to get this hag on some bioidentical hormones. They're the best for this kind of meltdown.
How much you want to bet she voted for Kerry?
Up around Brattleboro and Bennington the trust fund babies are all over the place.
The families probably sent them to Vermont for the summer to build a yurt and live in it. Others went to Putney. A lot of them just stayed rather than return to the real world and get a real job.
Go into any of the coffee shops and you'll see them - all decked out in LLBean and LandsEnd stuff and reading the New York Times. They like to drive expensive Range Rovers.
See kaboom's find in post 48 above.
In late 2002 Mayo claimed to have had a Pakistani lover named Junaid.
Yurt?
This morning on WRKO Scott Allen Miller had the head of TSA Boston. He said that she flew from Pakistan through Dubai and when she hit Heathrow she was in the secure area. Evidently she was not searched before boarding the United flight. Seems they only search about 50% of passengers at the gate and it's random. It's also patently ABSURD!!!!!
"She stated that the photographs would be awful, and she indicated that they related to the people that she had been with in the mountains of Pakistan," the affidavit said.
Her U.S. passport indicated that on Aug. 15 she had left Pakistan and entered the United Kingdom, according to the affidavit. As many as 17 people have been arrested in Pakistan in connection with the London terror plot.
Flight attendants summoned the captain, who spoke to Mayo. During the conversation, she made reference to there being "six steps to building some unspecified thing."
"She made reference to being with people associated with two words. She stated that she could not say what the two words were because the last time that she had said the two words she had been kicked off of a flight in the United Arab Emirates," according to the affidavit. The captain and purser both believed that she was referring to al-Qaida, Choldin wrote.
Performing Arabic language comprehensive web search on this woman woman, this 'real piece of artwork', as we speak! :-)
Freedom after 9/11

Americans understand, deep down, that they have lost their freedom. They had it once, they remember what it was, but it is gone

Plato was the first person to think in words about what it would be like for a human being to be self-governing. His thoughts tended to go around in circles, because he was a man ahead of his time and he didn't have the words. His symbolism of the cave is good, because that is how he felt. He knew the possibility was there, in the dark, but he just couldn't see it.
Self-government is a discipline that we all take for granted now. It means action after careful consideration of our moral principles. It is hard to imagine how the cave man made decisions, because he didn't do anything unless he got the permission from someone else. It takes a long time for a human being to trust his own knowledge about the difference between good and bad. Confidence in our inner connection with God has to be taught to us as children, and we have to teach it to our children.

We drove into Putney VT to get coffee on our way home from a New Hampshire vacation last March. You've pegged 'em.
Except, I don't think they'd buy from LLBean -- Bean's owner is pro-life and not afraid to say so.
LandsEnd I think is favored by the coffeehouse Left.
Anyway, can't we just pay the Frogs to take her?
"AN AMERICAN IN PAKISTAN: Value of dissent Catherine Mayo 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... My friend in England sent me three CDs.... "
I agree.
I was searched, as were all passenger flying on this flight ,before being allowed into the waiting area of the gate,despite being in a secured area and having been searched three times prior to arriving at the gate checkpoint.
I still think that German Airport security took things more seriously then the British airport security.
Was she married to Joe Mayo, and was she wearing Puddy's coat?
Sorry, disregard previous as it was already posted I see....
Yurts are little round houses that were very trendy with the flower children back in the late 60's - early 70's. A lot of the hippies moved to the country and built yurts.
They're round and sturdy and made of wooden slats and nomadic people used to live in them. They used to be made by hand in the 60's but you can now buy them on-line.
They were hippy-dippy things.
