A Delta Air Lines passenger jet traveling from Germany to the United States was diverted to Ireland on Sunday because of an apparent bomb threat.

En route from Frankfurt to Atlanta, Georgia, Delta Flight 27 landed at Shannon airport in the west of Ireland after crew discovered a note in a toilet suggesting there could be a bomb aboard the plane, said Siobhan Moore, spokeswoman for airport operating company Aer Rianta.

1. Perhaps so.

However, it seems to be overkill. Have you heard about the flute in the plastic pipe? It seems a poor musician carried his instrument that way because he had no choice. It looked like a bomb.

Meanwhile,6 million containers arrive yearly,2% are inspected. There was no money to inspect them in ports of origin,so they arrive daily.

How dumb are we now?

2. Yes, and these "terra" guys always leave notes in the toilet to warn

us in advance! That's why nobody was shocked at the WTC - it was the toilet notes!
