Remember the poor passenger who opened a greeting card that had those little foil confetti type thingees in it and the seat mate freaked out. The called the HAZMAT team. Stripped the poor guy and put him in some kind of clean suit.....talk about humiliation....before they discovered it was nothing dangerous at all.

Over-reaction seems to be the theme of the day.

Someone obviously had too many barbeque pork rinds prior to boarding...

Passengers Sickened on Air Ontario Flight

LINTHICUM, Md. - Passengers from an Air Ontario flight were in isolation at Baltimore Washington International airport Thursday morning as hazardous materials teams checked out their plane.

They complained of being sick on the flight. No word on the extent of their illnesses.

Officials with BWI say Air Ontario Flight 7928 from Toronto to Baltimore landed around 9 a.m.

Passengers were taken off the flight to an isolated area while emergency teams tried to figure out what the problem was.

No other flights were affected.

Decontaimination suggests they have been contaiminated, but with what? You don't go around cleaning people if they ain't dirty...

[Freedom2specul8]

I pray this is a simple fixable event and had nothing to do with terrorists..

[JustAnAmerican]

Seems Canada, Toronto especially, has been the starting point for a lot of Terror related happenings of late. Anyone know if Canada's airports are secure? Even a little bit? Or are they following their ancessors footsteps? Considering most of Canada is of French Decent.

Maybe it's just a drill?

[Coop]

Well, this could also be a case of toxic fumes mixing into the ventilation system. Let's wait to see what the investigation turns up.

Baltimore is broken?
