An Orlando-bound Northwest Airlines flight was diverted to Nashville this morning after a suspicious item was discovered on board the plane. The item: a Christmas ornament.
"A suspicious item was found and out of an abundance of caution, the pilot decided to divert to Nashville," said Delta Air Lines spokesman Carlos Santos, whose company recently acquired Northwest. "Fortunately it turned out to be a harmless article."

Why did they get alarmed over this? Everybody knows that all of the really suspicious Christmas ornaments are hanging on the tree in the White House (Mao, transvestite, Obama on Mt. Rushmore...)
They are terrified of those Amish terrorists and their Christ-shaped IEDs.
And put the owner on the no-fly list.
It was Rush Limbaugh puffing on a Cuban stogie!!
Smoke is death, like that commercial where the woman who has really bad circulation problems and fingers and toes cut off and she blames it all on smoking!!
I would certainly never claim that smoking is healthy, but I’ve been smoking for over 40 years and I have never seen an amputee in the crowd!
Keep in mind, these people who went to Tallahasee JUCO, they have all the answers.
The truth is nobody even knows what the question is!!
I doubt that Limbaugh would smoke a Cuban cigar. Not now, at least.
Thank you! I was trying to figure out what a suspicious Christmas ornament would look like!
But they got this part wrong.
You are correct that Rush would not pay Castro...
but, he would pay a Cuban to promote Capitalism!!
That’s because you’ve never seen one after my cats get done “borrowing” it from the tree.
Hard to blame them for being awfully nervous after the close call with the panty bomber. Ya know, they ought to have portable X-rays IN the planes in case something like this shows up.
Snipe hunting
What BS. It was the TSA. Someone reviewing a tape got wee wee’d up over nothing. Note that the TSA says that the airline makes the call to divert and the airline says the gov’t searches the plane. The TSA is a JOKE! CYA mode.
Maybe it was a glitter-covered glass grenade? Or a box cutter? Or maybe just a quran.
Christmas ornaments shaped like Jesus really are dangerous.
Damned, I like Christmas ornaments and I’m Jewish. Never saw a dangerous one before until Obama came into office. However, his own ornaments are painted with pictures of Mao, Hedda Lettuce (a transvestite and probably favorite of Obama Education Czar Kevin Jennings, the man-child love promoter), and Obie on Mt. Rushmore.
Something is sadly wrong with America.
Was it the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch? Monty Python fans want to know.
