Today's Edition Of 'Things You Should Never Say At An Airport'

Man's Hypothetical Question Leads To His Very Real Arrest

A 68-year-old man who missed his Northwest Airlines flight from Windsor Locks, CT to Minneapolis Thursday was arrested after he asked a gate agent "what if there's a bomb" in his baggage.

According to media reports, Mahmoud Abouelleil was upset after discovering the flight he was supposed to be on had already left the gate. His checked baggage was already onboard the airplane. While discussing the situation with gate agents, authorities say he then asked one of the agents "what if there's a bomb in my bag?"

The question prompted airport officials to immediately call the plane back to the gate, and the bomb squad was called in to search Aboulleil's baggage. No bomb was found, and the flight departed after an approximately two-hour delay.

Aboulleil was detained for questioning, and was charged with falsely reporting an incident. He was later released after posting $1,000 bond, and is scheduled to be arraigned October 4.

Needless to say, Aboulleil did not make his flight.
