Remember the poor passenger who opened a greeting card that had those little foil confetti type thingees in it and the seat mate freaked out. The called the HAZMAT team. Stripped the poor guy and put him in some kind of clean suit.....talk about humiliation....before they discovered it was nothing dangerous at all.
Over-reaction seems to be the theme of the day.

Passengers Sickened on Air Ontario Flight
LINTHICUM, Md. - Passengers from an Air Ontario flight were in isolation at Baltimore Washington International airport Thursday morning as hazardous materials teams checked out their plane.
They complained of being sick on the flight. No word on the extent of their illnesses.
Officials with BWI say Air Ontario Flight 7928 from Toronto to Baltimore landed around 9 a.m.
Passengers were taken off the flight to an isolated area while emergency teams tried to figure out what the problem was.
No other flights were affected.

Seems Canada, Toronto especially, has been the starting point for a lot of Terror related happenings of late. Anyone know if Canada's airports are secure? Even a little bit? Or are they following their ancessors footsteps? Considering most of Canada is of French Decent.

Anyone want to take a guess as to how long it will be before this is covered up in one way or another? With the Airline industry already heading towards collapse, my guess is we will probably never hear another word about this, and if we do, it will be deemed nothing. Guess I must be getting pretty Cynical in my old age, because in my eyes American lives are worth a h*ll of a lot more then any sum or money.

All fire/rescue units have cleared the scene. A thorough search did not reveal anything of a suspicious nature. Sometimes when one person becomes sick (for whatever reason), others follow in a psycho-somatic reaction when they are not really ill. The initial decon was done as a precaution as it is better to do more initially and not need it than to do less and then try to play catch up.
Perhaps it was a batch of bad back-bacon!
