Yeah, as a former flt. attendant, I think she deserves what she's getting! Back 'in the day' people weren't that unruly after you'd catch 'em in the blue room (john). Was she living under a rock, or just had to have her nicotene fix??

I think this is just one more example of passengers on planes that think they're the only ones that matter. As a smoker I have no sympathy for the lady. I too have made some long flights and had to wait what seemed like days to be able to light up again. But rules are rules people. Just because you don't like them or agree with them doesn't give you the right to pick and choose which ones you're going to break. As for her sentence, well she jeopardized the lives of the passengers and crew as well as people living in the flight path of that aircraft just because she was immature and threw a tantrum when she didn't get her own way. Not to mention the time and money it cost to divert the flight to Denver.

Wes,
I think you can carry matches even though
not permitted;
I do not think they are screened.
And airlines now let you take on
some basic lighters, but not the
"flame jet type."

One book of matches or one NON-BUTANE lighter has been allowed on planes for the last 3+ months. Thus, it is not difficult to light up a cigarrette, though it is illegal to do so.

A year or two in prison &/or a heavy fine might even encourage her to quit smoking. As to flying, she has already ensured she cannot do that.

WHAT THE HELL DOES THE KIND SHE WAS USEING HAVE TO DO WITH IT ANYWAY.

Wow Tom you got allowed items past security. You are good and they suck!

Yo Baron, You have an odd way of responding to a comment. Just because some people might not be as informed as you, why would you have to call me an idiot. It's easy to call people names on the internet. I would like to have you say that to my face.

Thanks! I thought i was the only one who saw that.

no it doesn't, at least on my computer
