It turns out the suspicious person was a fellow telecom writer named David Ho and what Ho did is tough to describe as I am too busy laughing about the incident. Of course if I were him I may not find the situation as funny. He put a few tablets of Airborne in liquid and the dissolving substance scared a passenger who called a relative who in turn called the police.<\/p>\n Luckily — Airborne is something I have covered<\/a> before as well. I buy so much of the company’s products my friends think I own the company’s stock (I don’t). The company’s tablets are advertised to help your immunity system and I have taken them on airplanes as well.<\/p>\n As Ho says in a very well-written article<\/a>, it is a good thing the rubber gloves didn’t come out for this one. <\/p>\n![\"12136310411[1].jpg\"](\"http:\/\/blog.tmcnet.com\/blog\/rich-tehrani\/uploads\/12136310411[1]-thumb-265x353.jpg\")
<\/a><\/span> There was some commotion<\/a> at the front of the plane as witnessed in these photos<\/a> and then about 20 minutes later — everything seemed fine and we took off. A flight attendant told us one passenger saw something suspicious and called 911.<\/p>\n
