Is activity on airline cause for concern?
Annie Jacobsen, a writer for WomensWallStreet, had an unnerving experience while during a flight from Detroit to Los Angeles. Here's her account, "Terror in the Skies, Again?" (Update: While this article isn't "ridiculent", I thought it should be shared... now it seems there's some counterbalance to the account - thanks, kap & djaj)

At least both articles agree that there were suspicious behavior on that flight that lead to FBI intervention.
While the Snopes article is very insightful, I was amused by this bit of senseless spectualtion: "The source said the air marshals on the flight were partially concerned Jacobsen’s actions could have been an effort by terrorists or attackers to create a disturbance on the plane to force the agents to identify themselves."
I would be keenly interested if other passengers related their first-hand accounts of the flight. In the meantime, perhaps Annie should learn not to pass judgement on groups of incontinent foreigners.
Interestingly, she "spoke at length with the United States House of Representatives Judiciary Committee" about this matter.
There has also been a Time Magazine article attempting to reconcile the experience.
