6. It's not some funny joke and you can face
serious time. "Making a false report of a bomb is felony of the second degree, for which the maximum penalty is 15 years." http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk_news/story/0,3604,1127519,00.html

Google joke bomb plane- scroll down past latest , and you will see that jokes are treated harshly worldwide. Entire flights are cancelled, all luggage rechecked and horrible inconveniences are caused for everyone. Every single incident has to be investigated and treated the same way.

She might think it's hilarious but she placed security there in a life or death situation, they have to make split second decisions based on very little info.

You walk into an airport with a bomb looking device, I would sure as hell hope the police would be all over it and be prepared to make an example.

If they don't, expect a group of numbnuts doing this all over the country laughing their asses off on how they can make a funny, and someone who does want to really cause damage do a copycat.
