Doesn't TSA do any COMMON SENSE screening?!?"Doctors deliver baby on Delta flight

Two doctors on a Delta Air Lines flight from Germany delivered a baby in the aisle of the plane and resuscitated him when he wasn't breathing, officials said.
Delta Flight 131 to Atlanta was over the Washington area when a woman about 32 to 36 weeks — or nine months — pregnant went into labor Wednesday afternoon, prompting an emergency stop in Charlotte, N.C., about nine hours into the flight.
Though the baby boy wasn't breathing when he was born, he was 'like a normal newborn' by Friday, one of the doctors who helped deliver him said.
The baby was born in front of the first seats after first class, one of the roomiest aisles in a plane. Using a stethoscope that was part of medical equipment onboard, the doctors realized the baby had a very slow or arrested heartbeat as the woman was in labor."

So who got the placenta???
I wonder if that flight diversion was covered by the passenger's health insurance?? If not, then I see a new trend in dodging the soring costs of having a baby in the hospital. ....book a flight late in your tri-mester...
Now if that mom was not a US citizen, then that baby is and thus the mom is now allowed to stay
'd'you ever deliver 1?
