"Please take good care of him" said the little old lady, handing offher caged midsized dog to the baggage handler. "He looks pretty calm"he replied. "Yes, the vet gave me a tranquilizer. Well" she said,laughing at the ambiguity, "he gave me a pill for him. Though my ownphysician also gave me something for the flight, too. I get nervous, youknow. I'll be so happy when we land in Florida, it was so hard tofind a place that will accept dogs, especially of his size, but we'vebeen together for ten years now, and he's my main companion, after myhusband died last year."
"Sorry to hear that, m'am. I'm sure he and you will be fine."
"Oh yes, I think we will. He had a bit of surgery recently, but he'sbeen picking up after that. I think we both have a few years left onus" she said, smiling, and waving at Barney.
She boarded the plane, although she walked through the scanner withher cane, but the TSA folks were friendly enough, it was an obviousenough mistake. The flight attendants let her board early because ofher age.
As the plane rose, the automatic pressurization kicked in, keeping thecabin (and cargo) areas at a simulated 8000 feet. The old woman wassnoring half an hour after takeoff. The lower pressure was a mildstress on her system, but she was robust, and the sedative sufficientfor her to snooze. Detroit to Florida was not so long but the "showup three hours in advance" caveat lengthened the journey, and she was tired.
The dog, also snoring, also did not notice the change inpressurization, though he did release an involuntary fart. In hisbelly, however, a pressure sensor noted the change and began acountdown. Two kilos of brisant explosive sewn into his abdominalcavity detonated ten minutes later. The plane's skin and severalhydraulic lines ruptured, and it fell out of the sky.
It took a while for the investigators to understand how a dog could beso completely decapitated, in fact it was only with Israeli help thatthe involuntary suicide pooch was identified. Thereafter only cargoplanes could take companion animals over 15 lbs, and they had to bex-rayed.
Folks with large scars (as seen on the backscatter machines)had to absorb the (additional) equivalent of a few chest x-rays beforebeing allowed to board. Visbily pregnant women were required to havea doctor's note, and those fetuses unlucky enough to be in anunknowing pregnant woman who also had scars, just had to suck it up.National Security outweighed a few birth defects, most agreed, and acompensation fund was set up.
