Brit admits bombs quip was foolish
January 22, 2004 - 5:05PM
A British student, who faces jail for joking she was taking bombs onto a plane in the United States, has apologised for making a "foolish mistake".
Samantha Marson, 21, said she "wasn't thinking" when she made her remarks, which could land her in prison for 15 years.
Marson, originally from Bridgnorth, Shropshire, was speaking after being bailed from jail in Miami, Florida, where she had spent four nights.
Her father Jim revealed that his daughter was desperate to return home.
But it looked likely she would be stranded in Miami until February 6, when she is due in court on a charge of making a false bomb report.
After being bailed, Marson said: "I feel really very sorry for what I did. I made a foolish mistake, and it was a very sad experience.
"This is a warning for everybody who wants to play stupid jokes not to do that.
"I am very sorry and I don't want to make that mistake again.
"I wasn't thinking - that was my problem," she told the BBC.
Marson left Dade County Jail with a British consular official.
She was arrested before boarding a London-bound British Airways flight at Miami airport on Saturday.
She had been in the US for three months with her American boyfriend and was about to return to the UK to renew her visa.
Police said she told a Transportation Security Administration official during a baggage security check: "Hey be careful, I have three bombs in here."
Asked to repeat herself, she allegedly made the same statement twice more.
Marson was arrested and taken to Dade County Jail.

There's a whole thread about that subject over on the Pax & SLF forum. Turned out she did it cause she felt security were taking too long to search her bag.
Looks like now there's another eejit, a 48 year old woman actually, ya'd think at that age she'd have more sense who's in the deep stew for making a bomb quirp at an airport. She was too late to board an EasyJet plane at Newcastle & sought revenge on airline staff by telling them she was in posession of a bomb. Thread started about this issue on same forum too oh & on this forum too.
These people are really beginning to try my patience now, wear me down, I wish the hell they'd learn when to shut up!
