OK, two things.  First, I was struck that "Airliner Diverted to
Shreveport" is a now a major headline.  Second, if you read the
article closely, it appears that the airliner was diverted and
escorted by F-16's because a passenger gave a flight attendant a
"non-threatening" note.

I made a non-threatening comment to a flight attendant last weekend;
maybe that's why they made us all get off the plane and go through
security again.
