The bad news for flyers? Well, one major U.S. airline carrier, Delta, had an unpleasant little rodent incident, the Wall Street Journal reports. Earlier this year rodent pellets were reportedly discovered near where flight attendants prepare food on one of its planes and also located "above door panels in the forward galley and above passenger seats."
