Too funny San    Looks like the security settings at your work changed.  Wonder if that was accidental or on purpose?  Maybe someone is testing to see if people go to unauthorized sites during work

Only took this one picture this morning at about 4:30am.  That's my legs crossed in my desk chair and Petey trying to get up into my lap by climbing on my foot stool first.  He's so cute even at 4:30 it's hard to be mad at him 

OMG!! How cute! He loves his mama!

He also looks scared silly of our tyrannical ruler.

Plane Diverted To Colorado Springs Airport
The Colorado Springs Airport says it was an AirTran 737, flight #39 with 132 passengers on board. A passenger was drunk and argumentative and locked himself in the bathroom of the plane.
A plane has been diverted to the Colorado Springs Airport because of an unruly passenger.

The CBS affiliate in South Caroline tells 11 News a passenger on the plane called a family member, saying the flight was from Atlanta to San Francisco. The Colorado Springs Airport says it was an AirTran 737, flight #39 with 132 passengers on board. A passenger was drunk and argumentative and locked himself in the bathroom of the plane.

The flight landed in Colorado Springs and the man was immediately apprehended by Colorado Springs police.

The plane is still at a gate at this time. Passengers from the flight tell 11 News all of the passengers have been taken off the plane and are congregated in the concourse. No one was injured.

The FBI will be investigating the incident. NORAD tells 11 News they flew two F-16 fighters to respond to the scene.

NORAD released the following statement regarding the incident:

Two F-16 fighters under the direction of Continental U.S. North American Aerospace Defense Command Region launched at 11:44 a.m. MST today in response to reports of an unruly passenger aboard Air Tran Flight 39 from Atlanta bound for San Francisco.

The fighters arrived overhead of Colorado Springs Municipal Airport as the pilot of the commercial airliner landed the Boeing 737 there safely at approximately noon MST, where the plane was met by law enforcement.

NORAD's mission - in close collaboration with homeland defense, security, and law enforcement partners - is to prevent air attacks against North America, safeguard the sovereign airspaces of the United States and Canada by responding to unknown, unwanted and unauthorized air activity approaching and operating within these airspaces, and provide aerospace and maritime warning for North America. NORAD may be required to monitor, shadow, divert from flight path, direct to land and/or destroy platforms deemed a potential threat to North America.

The Colorado Springs Airport tells 11 News there are no other delays at the airport as a result of this incident.

What about a tranquilizer dart?  Isn't there something anyone can do besides having so many people at risk for so long?

Mr. Klaas, you are in violation of the monkey code of puppy ethics!  That means, I lick the next spoon!
