"Distraught." I guess that means she's crazy:
Fighter jets escorted a diverted London-to-Washington, D.C., flight to Boston's Logan airport Wednesday after a distraught passenger pulled out a screw driver, matches, Vaseline and a note referencing al-Qaida, an airport spokesman said.United Flight 923 landed safely, Logan airport spokesman Phil Orlandella said.
The flight, with 182 passengers and 12 crew members landed safely, UAL Corp. spokesman Brandon Borrman said. Borrman said a female passenger was spotted engaging in some "suspicious" activity, but he could not immediately say what the activity was.
State Police and federal agencies took control of the plane after it landed.
How'd she get a screwdriver on the plane, and was it a Phillips or a flathead? Just so long as she wasn't sporting a Chechen pessary...
UPDATE:
Looks like passengers dealt with a nutty lady after she started acting out. The AP's saying she had banned items? Apparently that's an inaccurate report.

You do know what a "pessary" is, don't you?
