    This week a friend sent me this link:

http://tinyurl.com/5on66

    It's an article in "Women's Wallstreet.com" about a woman's experiences
on a domestic flight. To be honest, my BS detector went off like crazy
(particularly when the supposed terrorists-in-training gave each other
"thumbs-up" in the plane's cabin after supposedly succeeding in their trial
runs). Has anyone else heard anything about this one? The fact that it comes
from one source only (and one who quotes AnnCoulter.com as a source) makes
it extremely suspicious. I see nothing on it at snopes.com (though a search
there does reveal a much more believable story on the topic involving actor
James Woods). Google searches show that the author has apparently almost no
other publications, and the story does not seem to be cited in any
mainstream publication other than womenswallstreet.com (which of course
makes me wonder how mainstream that site really is).

    Is this legit? An overactive imagination? An outright hoax?
