In this photo taken Thursday, April 26, 2012, Lise Sievers of Red Wing, Minn., talks about the experience she had about an hour earlier, when she was quarantined inside a Delta Airlines flight from Detroit to Midway International Airport in Chicago. Sievers was showing symptoms of bug bites she acquired while visiting Africa, and all the passengers on the Chicago-bound flight were kept in the plane until medical officials gave the clearance to disembark. On Friday, April 27 her son, Roger Sievers, explained how one comment got misunderstood and one thing led to another until the situation began to resemble a scene from a science fiction movie.
