'Device' claim causes jet to divert

[Slats7]

A US Airways jet travelling from Paris to North Carolina was diverted to Maine after a French passenger handed a note to a flight attendant mentioning that she had a surgically implanted device, raising terrorism fears.

An examination by two doctors aboard the plane found the passenger, a French citizen born in Cameroon, had no scars or incisions, said US Senator Susan Collins, who was briefed by Transportation Security Administration (TSA) chief John Pistole.


The FBI and Homeland Security Department warned airlines last year that terrorists are considering surgically hiding bombs inside humans to evade airport security.

Fighter jets?

I can think of several prostheses or small devices- urological, ear, throat for example that require no skin incision. Did they completely strip the patient to look for lower back scars for a spinal stimulator? Shave the head to look for a shunt scar?

And if they are looking for short people with nice eyelashes who walk the aisles my OH and I are in trouble.
