What can't we just spay and neuter people who are below a certain IQ, and be done with it?

Hitler tried it as a first step.

Problem is that eugenics never ends at the first step.

I think so many situations could be avoided in life if Fark were mandatory reading. I've been viewing fark for about 3 or 4 years now. I can't even begin to recall how many "bomb threat to delay plane for late passenger" stories I've seen.

I bet she wasn't sure she had the right airport, so she CC'd every airport in the state.

Soon the robots will take over all the unskilled work and a lot of those people won't be able to feed themselves.

/what do you I mean by those people? Idiots, that's who.

creepingdeath: -1 Good story, weak headline.

Unfortunately this has become Fark latley......Wipes tear

"IF I CAN'T MAKE MY FLIGHT, I'LL SEE TO IT THAT NONE OF YOU WILL!!!11!eleventyone!11!!"

But that trick never works!

That's dedication.

/would never have happened if unemployment wasn't so high

These are the same kids that called in the bomb threat to the school so they could have a day off.

it worked in road trip

someone needs a punch to the coont.

Better than hiding porn on the overflight.

The problem is that it is never fully carried out.

/i kid
//maybe

Hmmm...never thought of this before.

Was he a golfer?

I am wondering how people end up being articles here...

Was he a pontz of a golfer?

Was he rich?

Did he marry someone better then he was? Did she have high-end implants?

Does he regularly run over stuff in his high-end SUV at odd hours of the morning?

Is he worth a brazillon dollars for a skill that saves lives?

Just curious.

Thats why you call a local TV/Radio station with the bomb threat and flight number. Never call the airport or airline directly!

I mean really, sounds like someone needs a refresher course.

/Its all ball bearings these days

You just failed the Fark roadside sobriety test. Your license is suspended and you have a court date in 3 weeks.

I smiled...

And no, since I still have a bit of whiskey left, I will carry on. That's my duty.

Since I am not driving (and wouldn't at this moment), you are in the back seat.

But I did find you funny.

Sending a bomb threat, there's an app for that

When I begin my evil plan to take over the world, I'm hiring this woman as my secretary.

No, the problem is that he tried it on the most intelligent people.

I guess I'm some kind of weak-willed pussy because when I'm late for a flight I usually have my secretary book a later flight. I really need to get more creative and bootstrappy.

Wow. We Godwinned rather early on this one, no?

There's a bomb on this plane.

"A bah..."

No, not a "bah", a bomb!!

Shouldn't her boss also be facing charges for (presumably) telling her to do this? I'm thinking something like conspiracy to make a terrorist threat.

I wonder if he plans on visiting her in jail.

Because the phone company never keeps records of these things, like who called whom.

Caller ID FTL

Prepaid cellular phone, paid for in cash, never used for any other calls, call made away from your home and place of work, and disposed of after use.

Obnox: When I begin my evil plan to take over the world, I'm hiring this woman as my secretary.

You want to be caught due to the hired help's stupidity? How Bond villain of you.

Does this mean she won't be getting a gift for Secretary's Day?

For the last time, Michael- no.
Going to jail for you is not part of my job description.

All right, you win. I can see you've played Knifey-Spoony before!

Boss sounds like a douche. Secretary sounds like someone who would do something illegal that a douche of a boss asked for, rather than risk getting fired in this economy.

Anyone want to place odds on the e-mail address ending with @aol.com?

dbirchall: Boss sounds like a douche. Secretary sounds like someone who would do something illegal that a douche of a boss asked for, rather than risk getting fired in this economy.

Imagine what else she would do for him?

/Maybe "put a bomb on my plane" was supposed to be some kind of euphemism?
//Like "Dive bomb your Pearl Harbor"

it's beyond comprehension that in this day and age that someone would ask someone else to do that, and that the person asked would actually do it

Solty Dog: These are the same kids that called in the bomb threat to the school so they could have a day off.

Yeah, but that kind of works.

Calling in a bomb threat only ensures the boss won't get to his destination at all.

The Gordie Howe Hat Trick: Its all ball bearings these days nowadays.

FTFY - went back and listened to what he actually said.

Wait 30 days for the store security tapes to get recorded over, too.

/presumably they can figure out what store you got it from based on the information transmitted by the phone.

Let me be the first to say,

I'd hit it.

They just get hired by school boards.

Of course, release her- this is America! Oh you called in a bomb threat? Heres 24 hours in the klink, on your way.

Jesus.

Bonanza Jellybean: /would never have happened if unemployment wasn't so high

On the bright side, I think a position just opened up.

Side note to subby and to people talking about the boss: TFA never says anything about the boss asking her to send in the threat, nor does it mention any prosecution of the boss, so I'm suspecting she did it of her own volition.

Radak: TFA never says anything about the boss asking her to send in the threat, nor does it mention any prosecution of the boss, so I'm suspecting she did it of her own volition.

If the boss saying "oh shiat, I'm late for my flight" as he scrambles out the door makes her think "hmm, I'll have to delay it by emailing in a bomb threat" without being asked, she is a very special blend of psycho and stupid.

Which she very well may be, if a later wire story is any indication. Quoting Fox: "During questioning, De La Rosa reportedly told police that her boss had been booked on the flight to Honduras, but she had caused him to be late for the flight. She thought the bomb threat would give her boss time to make it."

So okay, the boss doesn't sound like that much of a douche, although even if she's calling in the bomb threat because she feels it's her fault he's late, that's still not a good sign that she feels very secure in her job.

Wait 30 days for the store security tapes to get recorded over, too.

Most places now use a hard drive to record video surveillance. Depending on the quality setting, it could be up to 90 days of storage. At my job we keep it around 45 days.

likes838: Does this mean she won't be getting a gift for Secretary's Day?



Oh she will.

Did it work?

ZakD: Did it work?

Guessing it did, since I haven't seen any stories with comments from her boss - must be in Honduras.
