CLASSIC OVER REACTING

YESTERDAY UNITED AIRLINES FLIGHT 0923 WAS DIVERTED FROM ITS DESTINATION OF WASHINGTON D.C TO BOSTON LOGAN AIRPORT. THE PILOT HAD DECLARED AN IN FLIGHT EMERGENCY DURING HIS 8 HOUR FLIGHT FROM LONDON ,BECAUSE A 59 YEAR OLD WOMAN FROM VERMONT HAD APPARENTLY BECOME AGITATED AND ARGUED WITH A FLIGHT ATTENDENT.
LATER AFTER THE PLANES 184 PASSENGERS BAGGAGE WAS OFF LOADED AND SNIFFED BY DOGS FOR EXPLOSIVES AND THE WOMAN SEARCHED BY AUTHORITIES. IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THIS ELDERLY LADY HAD A JAR OF COLD CREAM IN HER PURSE AND A LEGAL PACK OF MATCHES. PLEASE TELL ME WHY THIS WOMAN WHO APPARENTLY HAD BEEN SUFFERING FROM A PANIC ATTACK RESULTING FROM CLAUSTROPHOBIA CAUSED THE PILOT TO DECLARE AN EMERGENCY?
THIS POOR WOMAN HAD THE TIMERITY TO ARGUE WITH A FLIGHT ATTENDANT! TALK ABOUT "RABBITT EARS"! ALL TRANSATLANTIC FLIGHTS HAVE ARMED FEDERAL MARSHALS ONBOARD. HE HAD HANDCUFFS AND A GUN IF NECESSARY. WHY WAS HE NOT USED TO SUBDUE THIS LADY AND THE FLIGHT CONTINUED ON TO ITS DESTINATION. THIS KIND OF OVER REACTION MAKES A MOCKERY OF THE AIRLINE SECURITY MEASURES. NOT ONLY DO PRE-FLIGHT SCREENERS FRISK OLD PEOPLE AND IGNORE ANY TYPE RACIAL PROFILE TO IDENTIFY POTENTIAL THREATS. NOW THEY DIVERT FLIGHTS AND INCONVIENENCE 164 PEOPLE BECAUSE SOME OLD WOMAN ARGUED WITH A MALADROIT FLIGHT ATTENDENT
