Nenette Day, a spokeswoman for the Federal Bureau of Investigation in Boston, said the 60-year-old woman was apparently claustrophobic and had become disruptive on the flight.

The flight, escorted by two fighter jets was diverted to Boston where all passengers were made to disembark and all luggage was removed and inspected. The 60 year-old woman was said to have become claustraphobic and to be in possession of a jar of skin cream!

That skin cream is dangerous stuff in the wrong hands

That skin cream is dangerous stuff in the wrong hands

stupid cow she is but i am more afraid of the fact she got in to the plane with it...

Maybe it was a Spanish plane, and when they asked if she had anything to declare her reply of "Olay" was misunderstood

Okay, that was one of your better ones, the missus even came in from the kitchen to see what I was laughing about.

In responce to this "incident" BA announced:

"I a'int gettin on no plane"
