Southwest Airlines says it all started with a cigarette.

A passenger was smoking in the bathroom somewhere between Portland and Sacramento on Saturday, according to the airline, and had gone so far as to tamper with the smoke detector.

I guess I should have read the other 50 comments first, noticing the same thing before posting.

I’ve done plumbing and taking out the old stuff can be gross.

Just saying...

Finally saw this on a larger screen (other than phone).

That is NOT a female torso, abdomen, hips nor camel foot.

“It” came unglued when “It” was told to follow the rules and “It” will pay the consequences.

So tired of intentional fake news...

I remember those bad old days! Once on a flight, back in 1966, when the NO SMOKING light went out the smokers grabbed for their cigarettes and the cabin of the plane filled with smoke You could just barely see the front from the back seats. It took thirty minutes for the air to clear, and we all smelled of smoke when we got off the plane.
Once on another flight, the plane landed for “over the wing refueling” and some old gal lit up while gas was being pumped . The pilot had a fit and made her put it out.
Ever see a plane blow up? I have.
Nasty stuff.

I don’t mind fresh smoke as long as I’m not cooped up with it. I also don’t want me or my clothes to smell like stale cigarettes.

“Disabling an FAA emergency device, the smoke detector, is a serious penalty.”

Her mug shot suggests lots of problems

Now they will add interfering with an aviation crew and that will be a mandatory ten

I hate flying and am very nervous when forced to do so.
If you are sitting next to me and threaten to kill everyone on board, there is a very, very good chance I’m going to take you at your word and do my level best to beat your brains in.

One day we’ll have Dr. Phil or Dr. Oz giving us tips for triggering psychos so they can be detected and removed. For now, frustration seems to be the ticket.

Trust me - she would have found something else to complain about if a cigarette was not involved.

Further proof that nicotine is as addictive as heroin. :-)

Portland to Sacramento is a one hour flight. If you can't make it for one hour without a cigarette you've got big problems.

Don't forget that you're supposed to get to the non-smoking airport 2 hours before your flight, so you've already done 2 hours before you even get on the plane.

I'm tired of folks who don't read articles. And captions.

My mistake.

But still, her head shot looks like "she" is androgynous.
