Passenger Shows His Dissatisfaction By Throwing Foot Powder

Now here's a guy taking matters into his own hands. A 42-year-old man was arrested at Boston Logan Airport on Monday for allegedly flinging foot powder inside the aircraft cabin of his US Airways flight. Reportedly upset after a late arrival from Las Vegas, the flight's captain told Massachusetts state police the man started throwing the white powder around and shouting, "This is what your airline gets for treating me bad." Police took the man (and his 7 oz bottle of Dr. Scholl's Foot Powder) in to custody and charged him with interfering with aircraft operation, disturbing the peace and disorderly conduct on a public conveyance. I guess he showed them.

Vend-A-Gadget: Best Buy Vending Machines Coming To Airports

If you've purchased a new cell phone from the Best Buy Express vending machine at the DFW airport recently, you may be able to buy yourself a bluetooth headset to go with it the next time you have a layover in Atlanta. Best Buy, in partnership with ZoomSystems, has announced their intentions of adding a machine there as well as Boston, Dallas, Houston, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Minneapolis and San Francisco by September 1st. Could there be a more perfect marketing strategy? Beautiful gadgety goodness tempting you from behind glass while you wait for your connection that has already been delayed twice. I don't see a PS3 sitting on one of those rotating corkscrews though.

Man gets naked, tackled by pro soccer team on AA flight

American Airlines flight 725 diverted to Will Rogers Airport in Oklahoma City on Friday during its trip from Boston to L.A. after a passenger on board decided to strip down to his birthday suit. The male passenger, whose name was not released, emerged from one of the 757's lavatories completely nude when he was immediately confronted by Craig Tornberg, General Manager of the New England Revolution, a Major League Soccer team enroute to play in Southern California. Tornberg told the AP, "I said he should get back into the bathroom and put on his clothes. He said something strange to me. He said, 'I don't hear you. I don't see you." I thought that line never worked anymore, but the man complied and got dressed before making a beeline for one of the aircraft's emergency exits. That's when Tornberg and other members of the Revolution subdued the man who was then strapped to a seat by flight attendants. The flight crew elected to divert to OKC where the man was taken into custody and placed under psychiatric evaluation according to FBI spokesman Gary Johnson. Flight 725 continued on to L.A. one hour after the diversion minus one crazy naked guy.
