SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — How he squeaked through security is anyone's guess.
A little mouse made for a big delay on a British Airways flight from London to San Francisco.
The passengers were buckled up and ready to go when the crew told them that a mouse-spotting meant they couldn't take off.
The crew joked that the mouse couldn't enter US airspace without a passport, and told everyone they needed a whole new plane. That meant a four-hour delay.
They told KGO-TV in San Francisco after the flight arrived Wednesday that despite the delay most passengers were happy to be on a mouse-free aircraft, especially since they would be eating on the flight.
British Airways apologized and said they were satisfied that only two-legged passengers were on the flight once it took off.

It was "The Mouse That Roared".
Cute film!
Was the mouse from one of the banned countries?
It was a Muslim Terrorist Mouse.....
"It was a Muslim Terrorist Mouse....." ...wearing a suicide vest set to explode at 35,000 feet.
That would be one tiny vest. It'd probably just go "pop" and blow up just the mouse.
There are some pretty powerful explosives these days. Do you remember the "shoe bomber" who had enough explosives imbedded into his shoes to blow a big enough hole in an airplane to bring it down. If the suicide mouse located itself strategically it might be able to do enough damage to cause the plane to crash.
That'd be one smart or well trained mouse! I suppose he could do it if he blew himself up in the control panel in the cockpit?
