Must be a full moon. I was on this flight, Delta Airlines Belize Flight Searched After 'Possible Bomb'

This just happened to be some kid messing around, but it cost me 3 hours of my honeymoon. OTOH I do have a good story so I guess it's not all bad.

Terroristic threats? Is CNN making up words now? Wouldnt they just be terrorist threats?

I dunno 'terroristic' has the ring of truthiness to it.

I wish there would be some follow up stories showing these people getting sentenced for 20+ years of federal prison instead of getting reality shows and what not.

Sounds like someone didn't have their juice.

Google search shows terroristic only existing in other news articles. Chrome's spell check says it's wrong. Sensationalism for the win.
