The passengers and five crew members were brought off the plane, together with all the luggage, to go through security checks again. Bomb-sniffing dogs found spent matches.

I wonder what this "medical condition" is; Taco Bell?

I dispute that Mythbusters claim. It might not eradicate the fart odor, but the smoke overpowers it so you can't smell it. I say from experience.

Some entrepreneur really needs to invent a mint-scented ass filter, something like a buttplug that releases a pleasant little whiff of air freshener every time a blast of methane honks its horn.

As I recall, he cried when they tossed him.
