Woman In Logan Airport Incident Identified
CBS 4 Boston ^ | 8/17/06

(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...

Here's a 2003 online forum where they are ripping Cathy Mayo up and down, for a stupid article she wrote from Pakistan... http://www.metafilter.com/mefi/25735

Took a long time for my computer to connect to that site. But, very interesting.

Pretty bad when your fellow barking moonbats characterize your article as "a f****** stupid rant." [Bowdlerization mine -- shrubb]

Is that supposed to be Catherine Mayo's screenname there, "putzface_dickman" ? (Sorry for the vulgarity, fellow FReepers, but that's the kind of screenname the moonbats seem to prefer.)

Good observation....I am firmly convinced, that all this so-called unrelated incidents, are intelligence gathering by the Islamic cult of death...

What is a little creepy is that, although my reasons are different, I agree with a lot of what her letter says.

How did women cross the Atlantic in the first place - walk?

Funny how she only has a panic attack on her return flight.

Ok, now I'm reading article info in posts 171 and 183, and this one of yours.

I see where the Captain believed a veiled reference she made to having used two words before that got her kicked off of a previous flight, but refusing to state them this time, was a reference to al-Qaida.

Full moon was last week (8/9), so she does not have that for an excuse. New moon is on the 22nd, and frankly, I'm more worried about that day, as concerns our adversaries to the East.

A nut, a common, ordinary nut. Not some exotic variety, just an insane liberal who finally went over the edge. And they had to land the plane to get rid of her, too bad they couldn't have just tossed her out and let everyone else get on with their business.

Just because someone is "nuts" doesn't mean they aren't dangerous though.

Wrong.

It is officially confirmed, by the government.

It was predicted on here yesterday that the government would deny it and we would never know the facts.

Wrong.

Your own words just proved it isn't a snow job.

My own words yesterday predicted we would finally get those conflicting reports clarified, and that the passengers would talk.

Exactly both of those predictions happened.

You left off one part:

She made reference to being with people associated with two words.

which is why he believed it was a reference to Al Qaeda.

When they woke up in the morning, they knew that they had a whole day yet to be invented. They could plan on moving to the moon, and make a list of what they would need to bring with them. They could make up a new kind of love, like the time that people did scientific experiments to show that two potted plants sitting next to each other on a windowsill could love one another if they listened to enough Mozart. Even the thought of such a possibility can make a person smile in the morning.

I'm thinking drugs may have played a part in her "inspiration" for this fine piece of journalism.

Woooooooooeeeeeee!

If you habitually embrace lies and half-truths (motivated by emotionalism), eventually you're going to separate yourself completely from reality.
