Title: A very good reason why stupid people shouldn’t travel.
Post by: ooseven on January 20, 2004, 03:38:24 AM: Quote

A British woman is being held in a US prison after she joked with an airport policeman that she was carrying a bomb.
Shropshire student Samantha Marson triggered a security alert as she waited to board a British Airways flight from Miami back to Britain.

The 21-year-old from Bridgnorth was asked what was in her rucksack and told officials she had a bomb.

According to the arrest report, Ms Marson placed her bag on the belt at a security check, telling a Transportation Security Administration screener: "Hey be careful, I have three bombs in here" - before allegedly repeating the joke twice more when confronted by officials.

If she is sent back, she\'ll probably just get a slap on the bum...

Reminds me of the "one foot in the grave" episode where Victor Meldrew was asked by customs if he had anything to declare. "only the crack in my arse" was his reponse. :laughing:

Jail is what she deserves.

When security is under the scrutiniy of the media, government and the passengers, this kind of joke does not bode well with stressed out security personnel. They will cuff you and jail your ass coz one day, someone will try to actually sneak in a bomb.

After 9/11, phony terrorism threats are federal crimes and are punishable by 10 years in prison...

A moron was caught phoning in phony bomb threats to a school in NYC, soon after 9/11, and deserves every 10 years he faces...

Don\'t wanna get in trouble? Don\'t break the law & Don\'t bitch about it.

Simple, no?
