found in a vacant seat per fox news.
how the hell did it get there?! Was it possibly waiting for someone?
Planting dry run?
Maybe the owner had a last minute change of plans.
The one who smelt it, dealt it.
Once you managed to get on with the knife, why not just carry it off, if you are innocent? This is starting to remind me of my college days, when bomb threats were common on campus. If you had a test, and hadn't studied, just call in a bomb threat on that building right before class time.
I think we are seeing an attempt to hogtie the airline system without perpetrating attacks. There are too many strange incidents, though this one may be innocent. The passenger names for the rows around this find should be checked for you-know-what kind of names.
Bummer if it was Richard Jewel that found it.
Number one, it does hogtie entire airports when an incident occurs, and this dominoes over to schedules at other airports, etc.
Number two, after hundreds of minor incidents and items found, we might just become desensitized to such things.
