Check the quote at the bottom of Ms. Mayo's letter.

Interesting in view of another article today, stating that Ms. Mayo threatened to pull down her sweatpants when the flight crew tried to stop her from making repeated trips to the bathroom.

Interesting. We'll have to dissect the meaning of that sentence!

Other reasons I think this woman might be the same Catherine Mayo (who wrote the letter to Senator Byrd, posted above)...

1. This article in yesterday's UK Guardian states that a British intelligence source said the woman was a "journalist."

2. Several articles on the incident now state that the woman was roaming up and down the plane's aisles, muttering something about Pakistan or Pakistanis.

Her letter to Byrd states she's a journalist based in Pakistan.

FYI, I remember that line from the TV series MASH. Sidney Freedman was the psychiatrist who was a recurring character. He used that line in an early episode, and then again in the final episode of the series, when he was treating Hawkeye Pierce.
