On edge
In the past few days, a number of planes have been diverted due to scares of imminent terrorism. Reasons have included:
- A crazy old lady muttering things about screwdrivers, handcream and bottled water.
- A 'note' in a seat pocket saying a bomb is on board the plane.
- And an airport was evacuated after supposed detection of explosives (which turned out not to actually exist).

Also, the plucky little boy evading security and making it ticketless to the plane reminded me of the end of one of my favourite movies of all time.
Is it MI:3? `Plucky little boy' seems a good description of Tom Cruise.
It's actually Top Gun, so you were half-right.
In additional developments, two men were removed from a plane for "looking suspicious".
It seems to have been the passengers, rather than the airline or airport security, who deemed that they looked suspicious, apparently because they were talking Arabic. What I want to know is: how many passengers flying from Malaga to Manchester can recognise spoken Arabic?
