A DL flight from CDG to CVG this evening was escorted in by fighter jets and parked remote, all passengers screened, etc....
Apparently a passenger wearing a jacket full of wires that turned out to be a heated motorcycling jacket that plugs into a motorcycle battery somehow was the cause of all the fuss.
Don't have the full story, just a news blip, but it seems they could've simply left the jacket (and the passenger) in CDG, doesn't it?
Recently, why have authorities insisted on cancelling entire flights instead of simply not permitting a questionable passenger(s) and their baggage to board?
