Nashville, TN — It is considered polite to light a match after passing gas. Not while on a plane.

An American Airlines flight was forced to make an emergency landing Monday morning after a passenger lit a match to disguise the scent of flatulence, authorities said.

The Dallas-bound flight was diverted to Nashville after several passengers reported smelling burning sulfur from the matches, said Lynne Lowrance, spokeswoman for the Nashville International Airport Authority. All 99 passengers and five crew members were taken off and screened while the plane was searched and luggage was screened.

The FBI questioned a passenger who admitted she struck the matches in an attempt to conceal a "body odor," Lowrance said. She had an unspecified medical condition, authorities said.

"It's humorous in a way but you feel sorry for the individual, as well," she said. "It's unusual that someone would go to those measures to cover it up."

The flight took off again, but the woman was not allowed back on the plane. The woman, who was not identified, was not charged in the incident.

Uhm....alrighty. t:

Good to know the TSA is doing such a good job - I'm pretty sure matches are verbotten as carry-on items these days.

i really think if i were one of the passangers..i would have punched her in the face for doing this

I believe the Mythbusters busted this match lighting trick.

I can believe it. I know girls who have much more potent aromas than most guys. I suspect it's all that vegetation some of them eat. Fiber will get you.

Great, now it's gonna take even longer to get on the plane, first you take you shoes off, go through the metal detector, make sure you don't have any liquids, then get an enema to make sure your colon's completely clean before gettin on the plane.
