You've got to be kidding! Talk about an over-reaction!
Cigarettes, bombs, . . . Close enough! Death sentence to them all! My God, the smell of cigarette smoke may have irritated someone's sensibilities! Surely that justifies the airlines reaction, right? Not!
The other day at work, the restrooms were unavailable for about half an hour. When I finally got in there, they were searching each stall carefully. They were searching for ash! Someone had smelled cigarette smoke in the restroom. OMFG! You'ld think they had found a bomb or something.
What a strange world we live in.

So there could be a couple cigarettes on that plane just waiting to go off? My God...the humanity of it.
i dont feel safe going into a speedway anymore.....there are tons of ciggs in there!
I really don't get the part where they had to search for hidden cigarettes like contraband.
What's happening to the human mentality these days? It's really hard to relate to
I find it humourous that some find it absurd that the airline reacted this way but don't chastise these idiot people
It probably didnt even faze the lush sitting three rows ahead getting sloshed in first class,the fat lady so engrossed in her sandwich she tuned out everything else or the golfer that was daydreaming about the escort he was going to cheat on his wife with in Bermuda. Sheesh you'd think they were terrorists or something!
" Alright everybody! calm down!" ...man grabs a flight attendant from behind......."If you do not crash this plane into the air force base IM GOING TO KILL THIS WOMAN BY BLOWING SMOKE IN HER FACE!"
Bunch of ......!

That's the part that is puzzling to me. Why? So what? Like there aren't other smokers on the flight with cigs in their pockets or purses?
That's what I was thinking. Since when can you not carry cigarettes on an aircraft? They took it a bit far, unless those cigarettes had a little something extra in them.
Don't fly on Sunwing, a man in a cop costume feels everybodies (bodies) before they get on the plane and they leave the no smoking light on for the entire flight.

Those people were rude and stupid, no doubt, but this is nuts :
"We sent a mechanic down to Bermuda, because we wanted our own people to check the aircraft," McWilliams said. Then "the people who were arrested refused to say if they had left other cigarettes on the aircraft, if they had hidden cigarettes on the aircraft. They were very uncooperative. So in addition to the technical things that had to be done, we had to search the aircraft thoroughly." He said the plane had to be searched the same way they would search for contraband items.
NUTS.
What was an over reaction? SOP of an airline is to land if a felony has taken place. Smoking on a plane is a felony.
The fact that this is a felony is an indication that we live in a police state.
Like my comment and get it to be the most highly rated, then maybe CBC will start some real discussion!
If they vaped, all of that cost and danger could have been avoided. Hey Canada, when are you going to realize that vaping is saving lives by offering smokers an alternative that actually works?

I hate when people treat smokers like criminals... I wonder if they treat SUV owners the same way...
