Flying is bound to get more unpleasant…

…seen that the TSA & friends have a tendency to ban stuff that upsets them:

[…] a passenger noticed the white substance in the bathroom of a flight from Tampa to Las Vegas.

The pilot thought the threat was enough to land the plane as soon as possible […]

All passengers were taken off the plane, and inspectors determined that the substance was just dust from toilet paper.

  1. I blame the passenger here, what possesed them to even think that telling the crew was a good idea here ? Whats the worst it could be ? Drugs okay thats really bad but does it warrant landing the plane for ? Personnaly if I’d seen something like this I’d probably just have cleaned it up if it was on the sink area or if it was on the floor left it alone and ignored it.

  2. OMG! Can you IMAGINE if that toilet paper dust made contact with someone’s skin?! Not at all a laughing matter.

    (LOL!)

    Anthrax, presumably, as a paranoid hangover of the 2001 postal attacks.
