when really bad plans go wrong

it's been a weird week for news. strange, unidentified smells in manhattan, birds falling out of the sky in australia, and now this: a body found dead in the wheel well of a plane that had flown from senegal to atlanta. not too much is known at the moment, other than that it appears to have been a stowaway. the flight is nine hours long. this story begs questions on several levels. we can't take more than three ounces of lotion on a plane, but someone managed to sneak into the wheel well? nice going, airport security at about fifty different levels. also, not that senegal is the type of country from which one flees, but if one was trying to leave, shacking up in the wheel well of a 767 seems, well, more than a little misjudged. they were interviewing people on the plane, so it will be interesting to see how this story develops. as usual, they were quick to assert, there was no terrorism involved, but just as quickly, that no one really knew the details, so who the hell knows. senegal, the new front in the war on terror? they were a colony of france...........
