[BoeingMEL]

BHX closed for a couple of hours today..but now reportedly back to normal. Suspicious package reported and disposed of by controlled explosion. Local idiot arrested for hoax/public nuisance. Lots of diversions..... and many hundreds of pax removed to NEC centre. 10 years at H.M. pleasure mi'lud? bm

apparently the indiviual in question returned to his bag and then ran off which naturally warrented the airport to be emptied. ruoured that dirty laundry was all what was in the bag......tosser.

If THIs had happened in a mainland european airport
then this GUY (IDIOT) WOULD HAV E BEEN SHOT AT BY ARMED POLICE (ONLY GOING BY WHEN HE RUN AWAY).??????????????

ONCE AGAIN SHAMBOLIC AIRPORT SECURITY IN THE U.K.

You all make me laugh by jumping to conclusions just like the beloved press that this person is an indiot?!
What about if this person was suffering from a Psycological illness or disorder, do they still deserve to be shot even though they were a genius?
Be careful what you say as others may have been there before, at a more stricter airport and at a more inapproriate time suffering from something far from being an "Idiot".
Watch your stereotyping!!!

[BoeingMEL]

Sorry Dancav but idiot is right. If he had been suffering the type of ailment you suggest it is highly unlikely that he would have been locked up and formally charged so quickly....... Stereotyping is to be avoided of course...... but a person who does an idiotic thing is er.... an idiot! bm

Her Majesty's pleasure. (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/west_midlands/3686289.stm)

Personally having been stuck on the taxiway for three hours on Sunday, I will put him firmly in the idiot category. :ok:
