| 856434 | 2010-02-09 11:48:00 | so basically what everyone is saying is that it is ILLEGAL to joke to a person who is NOT a police officer? What happened to free speech? I still don't know what the cops arrested the guy for. UPDATE: Civil Aviation Act Every person commits an offence who by any means provides to another person information relating to the safety of an aircraft, aerodrome, aeronautical product, aviation related service, or any other facility or product used in or connected with aviation, or any person associated therewith, knowing the information to be false or in a manner reckless as to whether it is false. Checkout this part of the law though: Offensive behaviour or words (1) Every person commits an offence who, on any aircraft,— (a) behaves in a threatening, offensive, insulting, or disorderly manner; or (b) uses threatening, offensive, or insulting words So it's illegal to say to the air hostess that she is ugly, because that would be insulting. That should be free speech. If a person was in a movie theatre and said "fire" and everyone ran and some people got hurt and the guy was joking, that should be free speech too because the guy didn't force them to run. |

He was arrested because he "told them there was a ticking bomb in one of his bags." That's in the second paragraph of the article you quoted. |

| 856440 | 2010-02-09 19:46:00 | Another one that annoys me is the number of times we’ve been ready to leave and the Captain announces “There will be a delay as we are still waiting for so many passengers”. Followed a short time later by, “Unfortunately, these passengers haven’t turned up so there will be further delay whilst we find and unload their luggage, this is a Civil Aviation requirement”. :mad: Jeeez they should find their luggage, take it to the middle of the airport and blow it up. May not get the flight away on time, but would at least give the other passengers some satisfaction. :D |
