So, crazy plane lady, also known as Catherine Mayo, did have a screwdriver in her bag after all. It was reported she had banned items, then they said she didn't, now it's back on again.
Mayo is a peace activist who's just come back from Pakistan. The banned items plus the scary stuff she was spouting on the plane, makes it very understandable why the pilot would declare an emergency. I'm going to have to give her negative terror style-points for peeing in the aisle though. Put it all together, and at the grocery store you'd find her in the dairy case under the brand name "I Can't Believe It's Not Terrorist!"
Since she's been described a flower child, I think her flower must be lantana, as it also produces a miasma of micturition when handled.
Via Allah, a link to some of Catherine Mayo's fine newspaper writing here.

DAY-UM. She's a nutcase for sure. I especially liked this quote: "When people ask me about my favourite US president, I name Abraham Lincoln."
Her favorite President, as if she was around during this time? What an ijitt. And I thought some of my kin were bonkers. Just damn.
However, she has been deducted 4 points for the peeing incident. A foreign woman who can't hold her bladder just doesn't cut it with me!

Posted by: Greta (Hooah Wife) at August 17, 2006 10:43 PMWow, I didn't know GWB had banned peace songs...!!
I think I would like to take a hint from Hooah Wife
and write a song about this brave 'American journalist in Pakistan' weilding her screwdriver
in order to void upon the cabin floor. It might be titled "If I Had a Catheter" (I'd insert it in the morning) Ijit is right.
She is obviously one of the enlightened ones..I'll even bet she sees auras, gets chills when she holds crystals, etc...

Posted by: csason at August 18, 2006 05:53 AMGuess she hadn't heard about Jefferson Davis.

Posted by: tfhr at August 18, 2006 06:45 PMI wasn't referring to the War of the Northern Invasion.. this is what I was thinking about;
Lincoln, Abraham. “To Henry H. Sibley, Washington, December 6, 1862” in
Basler, Roy P. The Collected Works of Abraham Lincoln, v.5. New Brunswick,
NJ: Rutgers University Press, 1953.
Without question the most significant of Lincoln’s orders regarding Indians, this document directed Sibley to execute thirty-nine of the Indians condemned for their involvement in the Dakota Conflict. The order also exonerated 264 of the Indians condemned by the military courts. Hence this document at once ordered the largest mass execution and the greatest act of clemency in American history.
