A self-described peace activist responsible for the diversion of a London-to-Washington flight Wednesday acted bizarrely for hours, made references to al Qaeda and hijack training flights, and was restrained by two passengers after she urinated in the aisle.
Catherine C. Mayo, 59, a Vermont woman who also lives part time in Pakistan, was charged yesterday in federal court with interfering with a flight crew. United Flight 923 was forced to make an emergency landing at Boston's Logan International Airport under escort by two military jets.
"She's got some very serious mental health problems," said Page Kelley, Mrs. Mayo's attorney, who described her client as "just barely lucid."

I have been to the Subcontinent, and urinating where you please, is common over there, so she should be excused, for using the aircraft floor...this one of the great cultural aspects of a diversified society

Ammonia is present in decomposed urine. IIRC, certain bacteria 'consume' urea; ammonia is one of their waste products. Fresh (human) urine should not smell like ammonia, or contain it in any significant quantity.

What about the uric acid? Could that be used to make an explosive, do you think?

I'm inclined to think not; particularly not in the quantity that it's present in fresh human waste. It seems to me that the various nitrogen containing compounds in urine need to be decomposed before there's anything useful such as ammonia, ammonium nitrate, potassium nitrate, sodium nitrate ...
I'm not a chemist. Maybe I'm missing something

Passengers initially assumed the men who restrained Mrs. Mayo were federal air marshals but yesterday said they were passengers recruited by flight attendants who provided them with handcuffs.Why do I always miss the fun?!

I've seen this behavior before on MSNBC at 7PM central time. It's a very advanced case of Bush Derangement Syndrome.

It is also very common for people experiencing psychotic breakdowns to be markedly but irrationally influenced by news events. Diagnosis? Acute Liberalism.

Then again, if she is crazy, she must be a reporter...She is. Catherine Mayo
She's also liberal and a rabid anti American.
Since liberalism IS a mental disease, one can only surmise that her self-induced condition is now colliding with reality.

I don't mean to be gross, but can human urine be used to create explosive compounds? Sure, just drop some Mentos in it.

So President Bush is now responsible for security lapses in London?? Dam liberals and Democrats. They point their fingers at Bush every chance they get about security issues and how they are woefully inadequate. Then in the next breath are complaining about the methods his administration is using to tighten up security and getting judges to rule them unconstitutional.

As a columnist for the Daily Times of Pakistan, Mrs. Mayo criticized President Bush -- calling him "a president not elected by the people"-- and the war in Iraq. "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," she wrote. What's her DUmmie screenname?

It can be a rich source of the nitrogen needed for most explosives, but I seriously doubt that kind of refining (of those kinds of quantities) could be done in-flight.

but can human urine be used to create explosive compounds?Ammonia, which has chemical properties similar to urine, can produce a toxic gas when combined with household bleach.
A lethal concentration would be difficult even in the confines of an airline cabin, particularly if the oxygen masks were dropped.

Maybe she and Mother Sheehan should get together and urinate on something.
