It's finally happened. All those jokes made about how stupid it was for nail clippers to be confiscated at airports are now null and void.  According to CNN, flight attendants were forced to immobilize an unruly passenger after he tried attacking  them with his nail clippers.

The Alitalia Flight was heading to Rome from Paris was forced to make a detour stop in Libya on Sunday.


The man was taken into police custody on arrival, and the remaining 131 passengers eventually landed safely in Rome.

The attacked flight attended was taken to the airport emergency room for a check-up.

I guess nail clippers really can be dangerous.  Although, I'm not sure it would be that tough to subdue someone brandishing nail clippers...I suppose I'll never know.
