Cat Loose In Cockpit Scratches CoPilot - Causes Emergency Landing

<snip>

BRUSSELS, Belgium -- Airline officials in Belgium are blaming a jetliner's emergency landing Monday on a cat in the cockpit.

The SN Brussels jet with 58 passengers on board was en route from Brussels to Vienna, Austria. About 20 minutes into the flight it was noticed that a passenger's cat had escaped from its cage.

The airline said the kitty slipped into the cockpit when the door was opened to serve the crew's meal. It said the cat got "agitated and nervous" and scratched the co-pilot, whereupon the pilot decided to fly the plane back to Brussels as a precaution.

The airline said the cat was in an internationally approved "flight transport bag" but said procedures may need to be changed for pets in the cabin.

How can they expect to keep terrorists out of the cabin when Aunt Hildie's lil' pumpkin can wreak such havoc?!?
