Hairspray, not a bomb, explodes on a plane at Miami International Airport
Hair spray has just been added to the "No Fly" list at Miami International Airport.
An aerosol can is believed to have caused a piece of luggage being loaded to a plane to explode Tuesday, causing a mass panic for airport and fire rescue officials. The Miami-Dade bomb squad was called to the airport around 11:30 a.m. after a baggage handler said he was taking liggage to an American Airlines plane that had just arrived from Boston and a bag exploded, sending pieces of metal flying.
The worker was not seriously injured, but the words "explosion" and "airplane" can't be used in the same sentence without the terror alert going up a few notches. Officials took the man's shoe and called in the dogs. After clearing the tarmac, investigators determined there was no bomb on board, but instead one of the passengers would have to endure a bad hair day. It should be noted, that hair spray and other aerosol cans are not allowed in carry on luggage, which forces passengers to stuff the combustible hygiene products in tightly packed luggage.
The 148 passengers from Flight 2585 had already departed the plane before the aerosol can exploded. The TSA is still investigating. No one has been questioned or arrested from the flight. One of the splinters got lodged in his shoe.
liggage, as opposed to luggage... typo on their part
Hairspray!
It’s the fuel of choice for 2 out of 3 Potato Cannoneers!

>>an American Airlines plane that had just arrived from Boston
I didn’t know John Kerry (or Mitt Romney) flew commercial.
Who else uses the stuff...John Edwards? He wouldn’t be flying from BOS would he?
Flame or feline, there are things that can entertain one in those cans.
I think the Arabs are laughing their a$$es off watching us ban thing after thing due to random incidents they had not a thing to do with.
I can not wait to see our response after an explosive anal insert takes out a jet from the UAE or Cairo over Queens.
