let us fly in peace*

Suspicious smell, bottle of water causes flight to be diverted:

A flight from Atlanta to New York was diverted to Charlotte, North Carolina, last night after a flight attendant found a bottle of water and smelled something suspicious.

Bomb-sniffing dogs checked the plane while authorities interviewed the flight crew and some of the passengers from AirTran Flight 372.

The dogs found nothing hazardous. The passengers were re-screened and they continued their trip after about a three-hour delay.

*plea to airline officials: my abhorrence of delays and being stripped and "patted down" far surpasses any sliver of fear of being blown up while in flight. And oh, terrorists don’t have to kill to win: their tactics are working if we are limiting are personal freedom in fear of them. These restrictions are bordering paranoia.
