Remember when Cat Stevens Yusuf Islam was "discovered" on a flight to Washington DC, and the flight was diverted to Bangor, Maine, for security purposes (because Cat Stevens, like so many other very bad individuals, has found his name on a terrorist watch list)? Bangor picked up a few other inbound bad guys after that, too. Now, a flight headed to Logan was diverted to Kansas City because of "threatening graffiti" in the bathroom. As if diverting a flight because of graffiti weren't confusing enough, Bostonist simply can't understand how national security is helped by sending these would-be America-destroyers to other parts of our country. Is Boston especially susceptible to threatening words, while Kansas City is thicker-skinned? Is Bangor better prepared for a Cat Stevens onslaught than DC?
