Playboy Playmate Tiffany Livingston Detained After Midair Anxiety Attack

(Sept. 10) -- Steven Slater, meet your match: A Playboy playmate made heads turn on a JetBlue flight when she allegedly suffered a panic attack and tried to open the plane's door in midair.

The New York Post reports that Playboy bunny Tiffany Livingston was in federal custody Thursday night after passengers saw her attempt to open the door on JetBlue flight 522 as it flew from Orlando, Fla., to Newark, N.J.

According to a report in the gossip site TMZ, however, Livingston has been released and federal officials think she was trying to brace herself during a panic attack, not necessarily open the door.

Livingston, a leggy 21-year-old from Merrimac, N.H., was featured in the first issue of VIP Magazine in Singapore. In a now post-ironic interview with VIP, Livingston said she loves to travel, but prefers destinations off the beaten path.

"I hate the crass commercialism of tourist spots or oft-mentioned and over-rated romantic spots!" the brunette told VIP in February 2009. "I preferred the temples, shrines, floating villages and ancient ruins of Cambodia."

Whether intentional or not, opening a plane door midflight certainly fits in the category of adventuresome travels.
