If you can’t light a match on an airplane to cover up the smell of your flatulence without thereby forcing the plane to make an emergency landing, the terrorists have already won.
I only once flew on an airliner when smoking was allowed, and I was nine at the time, so I’m trying to remember: what were the rules back then? I assume matches were ok then, but I suppose it could have been lighters only.
I know a 1L friend whose flight was once delayed for several hours due to an extreme mess on the plane. On the connecting flight to his departure city, an elderly passenger had a case of explosion diarrhea and didn’t quite make it to the plane’s water closet. The stench was so wretched that it prompted many other passengers to vomit. By the time the plane landed, it was such a mess that it was deemed a biohazard. They had to prep an entirely different plane for the subsequent flight, prompting the delay. Apparently when the passengers descended the plane into the concourse, the stench followed them and bothered tose waiting on the next flight.
I shit you not (no pun intended). This is a true story.

An SBD had become a WMD. We are through the looking glass, people.

The capacity for stupidity that people exhibit on a daily basis never ceases to amaze me.
