What if Gladys Kravitz was in charge
of homeland security

From Boing Boing:
An airline passenger's MP3 player and three vials harmless herbal remedies led to an emergency landing at O'Hare International Airport, the evacuation of 74 passengers and crew and a search of the plane Tuesday by the Chicago Police bomb squad.
The United Airlines flight was headed from New York to San Francisco when a passenger told a flight attendant he saw another passenger with suspicious materials, United spokesman Jeff Green said.

For the youngsters in the group, Gladys Kravitz was the busybody neighbor in Bewitched. She's not the best metaphor for this post, because she was in fact seeing things that were a bit odd. But I like the imagry of a nosy neighbor. Let me know if you can propose a better metaphor....
