The Dallas woman, who had ignited her fart in the lavatory, had not been forthcoming about the burning smell noticed by other passengers. All passengers and crew were disembarked while the plane and luggage were searched.
A bomb sniffing dog located her spent matches and the woman admitted to lighting her fart to disguise odor after a "lengthy questioning" by the FBI. She said her flatulence was caused by a medical condition.
A spokeswoman for Nashville airport said "Since there was no malice involved and the incident was accidental, she was not charged with anything."
After the flight resumed, the woman was not allowed back on the plane.
