"An Air France jetliner en route from Paris to Boston was diverted to Maine on Thursday because U.S. authorities wanted to check on a passenger, officials said...previous transatlantic flights have been diverted to Bangor."
I hear it loud and clear: everyone hates Maine, and that includes the government. I mean, what the hell do they offer, besides Poland Springs, some nice weekend getaways, and women with missing teeth who wear plaid?
If a plane is strapped with explosives....send 'er to Maine.
Thing I don't understand, don't we have the authority just to send it to Canada???
