Among the travel stories selected this quarter:

Maybe he didn't like the airline food
Northwest Airlines canceled a flight from Las Vegas to Detroit on April 8 after the captain cursed repeatedly on a cell phone and then swore at one of the plane's passengers. The pilot was yelling obscenities on a cell phone in the cockpit while people were boarding. He then left the cockpit, went into the front lavatory, locked the door and continued his conversation. But passengers could still hear his rants. One passenger said, "He was having a fit, swearing up a storm. He was saying 'F this' and 'F that.'" When the captain emerged from the bathroom, a passenger confronted him about his behavior, prompting even more cursing. The flight was cancelled, and passengers were placed on other flights.

They shouldn't call it "the screamer"
A Sacramento amusement park received so many complaints about noise that they instituted a "No Screaming" policy on their new thrill ride - the Scandia Screamer. The Screamer is a gigantic, windmill-like contraption that sends people plunging 16 stories at nearly 70 mph. Any rider who makes too much noise is immediately pulled off the ride. Operators now recite the following warning to riders: "We are required to remove you from this ride if you make any noise. If you feel you might make a noise, please cover your mouth tightly with you hand, like this (the operator then covers mouth with hand). If we hear any noise through your hand, we will remove you from the ride. So please remain silent and enjoy the Screamer."

But they're just a few harmless pets
Customs officers at the Cairo airport detained an Egyptian man who was trying to smuggle 700 live snakes on a May 24 flight to Saudi Arabia. The slithery creatures were discovered in a carry-on bag after officers asked the man to open it. He told them the bag contained live snakes and warned them to keep their distance. Among the variety of serpents hidden in small cloth sacks were two poisonous cobras. The passenger said he hoped to sell the snakes to Saudis who display them in glass jars in shops, keep them as pets or sell them to research centers. The man is accused of violating export laws and endangering the lives of other passengers.

Even thieves need some down time
It wasn't difficult finding the two teens who robbed three people at gunpoint at Hilton Head's Holiday Inn Oceanfront Hotel on May 19. They were nabbed later the same day hanging out at the hotel's swimming pool. Brandon Brooks, 18, and Dillion Clark, 16, were arrested and charged with armed robbery. Brooks also was charged with carrying a firearm during a violent crime and misdemeanor marijuana possession. According to police, the pair robbed two women and a man at about 2 am on the beach near the hotel. Police say they then pistol-whipped the man and ran off with cell phones, purses, wallets and cash. The two were arrested that afternoon after being spotted by the victims.
