Our First Reaction Was: Why Would Anyone Fly From Paris To Cincinnati?

Woman Removed From Paris-Cincinnati Plane

A woman was taken off a Paris-to-Cincinnati flight just before it left France on Tuesday because of suspicious wires poking out of her leather motorcycle jacket. Security officials later determined she was not a threat.

It turned out that the jacket was designed to heat up like an electric blanket to keep the wearer warm, officials said.

However, as a precaution, Delta Flight 43 was kept a half-mile away from the terminal at Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport after it landed. U.S. officials said they planned to re-screen passengers and baggage.
