The report mentions "eye irritation and difficulty breathing", which sounds very much like oil or hydraulic mist/fumes.

A/c reportedly operates in a 50-seat configuration for the DoJ/US Marshals Service and was carrying 12 passengers and 5 crew. Hmmm. No mention of whether they included Nicholas Cage or John Malkovich. :O

Must be another airline money making ploy: "If you'd like to breathe uncontiminated, pure air during flight, the flight attendants can hook you up to the passenger oxygen system for a nominal fee - based on how long the flight is".
