False threat trifecta is complete

Here were the first two:

One

and now, the finish:

Bomb Threat Forces Jet Back To Sea-Tac

Airport police took into custody a man who told a gate agent there was a bomb on the plane shortly after it departed, airport spokeswoman Terri-Ann Betancourt told the Associated Press.


Are we so starved for visual stimulation to accompany a news item that they have to include a slideshow of parked planes and buses on the flight line? I guess we are.

I swear to god I don't think I ever want to see another airport or another plane. I have to fight that aversion, though, because that's what TheyTM are trying to accomplish by reporting this non-news: making us want to stay right where we are. Resist! Take a flight.

If you really want to stick it to ThemTM, take a flight on a foreign airline, so they only get some of the money. And if you're smart, you'll stay in whatever country you travel to.
