Firecrackers Found in Plane Lavatory

HONG KONG (AP) - Seven firecrackers were discovered in the lavatory of a United Airlines jet that flew from Chicago to Hong Kong with 335 people aboard, but they were too small to have caused any major damage if they had exploded, officials said Thursday.

United spokeswoman Chris Nardella said United had not changed its security arrangements, adding that the airline's safety measures remain tight.

United is not exactly an airline that should be using past history as an example of how tight their security is. Then again, security when it comes to air travel is a relatively low standard.
