ORLANDO, Fla. - A Florida man upset over an airline's baggage fees was arrested at Orlando International Airport on Thursday after he allegedly made a statement that there was a bomb on the plane.
According to the arrest report, Danny Curry and his wife were at the airport and prepared to take a Spirit Airlines flight from Orlando to Pensacola. While talking with an airline supervisor, Curry was upset over the airline's carry-on bag fees and allegedly mentioned that the plane would have to be deplaned because there was a bomb on board.
"I bet you, everyone on that aircraft is going to deplane, there is a bomb on that aircraft," Curry told the employee, according to the report. Curry's wife stepped in and told the employee that her husband's statement was not true.
The employee called 911.
"You want me to say it again?" Curry reportedly said after 911 was called, according to the report. .............(more)

You buy a greyhound bus level fare, with all kinds of charges and uplifts for standard features, and then you go nuts when they charge you for something they were very up front about.
Enjoy your time in the court system and the 6.5 hour drive with your loving wife. Something tells me you may be alone on that drive though. Oh, and FL has tolls on the roads and you have to buy your own gas.

Nothing like being stupid to say something that will put you in the no fly list.
