If this holds up under scrutiny (unlike most of the "revelations" about this incident over the past two days), it's probably not an indication of anything wrong.

The airlines are currently required to perform random sweeps of aircraft after passengers have deplaned and before the next flight boards. I don't know the criteria for selection, but there's no notice.

If there is a true concern about a lapse in security, they have typically cancelled the flight altogether.

When I read what you write in that magical font...it is so beautiful, and magical, and spiritual, and I feel like I'm falling in love, or going to heaven, and I think of unicorns, and magic snow, and fairies, and angels, and I could just die, I really mean it.

what were you saying?
