I smell new security measures comming. All cat cages have to be sealed by customs, because if that cat got loose in the air, it might actually have caused a crash... Although I imagine mice would be easier to smuggle aboard. All in all, it's probably a too unreliable method for terrorists. Unless they start training them :shifty:

Cats:facepalm:

It was probably chewing on the wires, like my cat does with my power cord.

As cat owner, I can only hope for terrorists to be so stupid to try training them. Usually cats work the other way around, they train you.

As a (involuntary) cat owner, I can only confirm that. I was more thinking of mice... although, if Douglas is any reference, there's also a question of who trains who.

I don't find this funny or hilarious. Neither that the flight was delayed, nor that the cat was found in the avionics bay.
