I have no sympathy for anyone making hijacking threats. That said haven't we all wanted to punch a baby at some point?!

Ahh, I said, I get to wind them up, caffeine, candy, chocolates, spooky movies, spastic running around...
And I get to LEAVE!!! They have to put up with their caffeinated, hyper-spawn for the rest of the day, and night.
I get to go home, and sleep through the night. Zzzzzz...

I read an article of a guy running late for his flight. He decided the *best* way to delay the flight was to call in a hijack threat.
On his cell phone.
Without blocking his phone number (as if it's permanently blocked anyway).
He was arrested when he got to the airport, according to the article reporting on his brilliant idea!
DOH!!!
And he was surprised.
Yikes...
