Tired of venting over Trump? This will really get your blood boiling.
From Yahoo News - Los Angeles (AFP) - A flight from Las Vegas to Honolulu was diverted to Los Angeles on Wednesday after a passenger refused to pay $12 for a blanket and was accused of being unruly, police said.
The incident unfolded after the Hawaiian Airlines flight took off from Las Vegas and the passenger -- a 66-year-old man -- requested a blanket as he was cold, Officer Rob Pedregon, a spokesman for the Los Angeles airport police, told AFP.
When told he would have to fork out $12 for the blanket, the unidentified man got upset and demanded to speak to a corporate representative from the airline, Pedregon said.
"During the in-flight call he allegedly said 'I would like to take someone behind the woodshed for this' and the pilot deemed that to be threatening behavior and ordered that the plane be diverted to Los Angeles," he said.

Just make new TSA guidelines that all passengers will have blankets inserted rectally at the preflight security checkpoint and then no one will have to ask for one. They gonna get up in there eventually anyway might as well get a free blanket out of it.
