Not a terror threat, just bad body odor

images1.jpegNASHVILLE, Tenn. — A flight headed to Dallas-Fort Worth was diverted in Nashville on Monday after passengers reported the smell of burning matches, which officials said came from a woman trying to hide body odor.

The 99 passengers and five crew members were evacuated from the American Airlines plane after it landed around 6:40 a.m., Nashville Airport Authority spokeswoman Lynne Lowrance said.

The plane, which was en route from Reagan National Airport in Washington, was searched, and luggage was screened.

Matches were found in the seat of one passenger, who was detained and questioned by the FBI. The matches were safety matches allowed in carryon luggage under Transportation Security Administration rules.

“It turned out she was trying to conceal body odor,” Lowrance said.

30 Days of Pork

m.jpegOk ok. So I started eating meat again recently, after 12 years of abstaining. (Sorry veggie friends, I have gone to the dark side, I know). And like a child deprived of candy for so many years, I have a particular new-found love for pork, and bacon in particular. So for the month of November, I am going to pay homage to the P*I*G, and document a meal a day with pork in it.
