Plane Diverted After Passenger Claims an Implanted Device
By JOHN H. CUSHMAN Jr.
WASHINGTON -- A passenger flight from Paris to Charlotte, N.C., was diverted on Tuesday to Bangor, Maine, because of security concerns apparently set off when a passenger told the crew that she had a surgically implanted device.

Airline and government officials said US Airways Flight 787, carrying 179 passengers and a crew of 9, was escorted safely to land by military aircraft, as is the standard precaution when a flight is diverted because of the suspicions of the flight crew over a passenger's behavior.

Airlines and counterterrorism agencies have been on the watch for the possibility that terrorists would try to bring down a plane using a bomb concealed on a passenger or even implanted as a way to hide it better. The state of alert was heightened after intelligence agencies penetrated the Al Qaeda network in Yemen a few weeks ago and captured a bomb designed to be hidden in a person's clothing.

There was no immediate indication that a bomb or any such device was involved in this case.

The woman was arrested, according to Representative Peter T. King, the chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee..

The flight, from Charles de Gaulle Airport near Paris, was expected to continue to Charlotte later in the day, according to Reuters.

"Out of an abundance of caution, the flight was diverted to BGR (Bangor) where it was met by law enforcement," the Transportation Security Administration said in a statement. More details would be made public soon, an official said.

In a statement issued by Mr. King, a New York Republican, he said that he had been told that “a French citizen on board handed a note to a flight attendant that said she had a surgically implanted device inside her. Doctors on the flight checked her out and did not see any sign of recent scars. The woman was born in Cameroon, was traveling alone without any checked baggage. She was visiting the U.S. for 10 days.”

I wonder if he actually believes that the US is the most gaga country in the world. If so, then I think there are places he should visit.

It was a French woman; she boarded in France and she did it over international waters.

Agreed. And while we're at it, don't miss the "enlightened" Western European countries like France, which bans full-face Muslim head scarves, or Switzerland, which restricts minarets on mosques.
