You know its better safe then sorry, and I would prefare to be diverted if there was any slight sniff of a bomb, terriorist etc, but it makes you wonder how often this is going to accure in the future?

Bomb or not, I bet the pasengers are shaken up, apparently the plane was escorted by an Italian fighter jet, not a sight you want to see out of your window.
God help the person that needs to make the call to take down a passenger jet of people if one should ever be hijacked again.

I'm getting a little tired of all the speculation on TV for every little incidence...is it/isn't it...before they know the facts. They just keep going on and on, round and round in circles for hours before informing us it was all a mistake.

Yes you are right but we are going to hear alot more like this in the near future.

The really sad thing is one day just when we think oh its just another precaution and pass it over, it may well be the real deal :scared:
