Yeah I was just using this as an example of how "extreme" the reactions of the public can be - two flights canceled and the entire plane fumigated for the escape of a couple 6" harmless pythons - that represents a pretty significant impact on the airline's business. Could you imagine the fallout if the news got hold of a story where "poisonous" frogs escaped on a plane?

Obviously the snakes were not properly packaged though - hence the escape - unless they find evidence that they were "released" mid-flight.
