Of course, it really was bin Laden, but Christian Boncorps, a State of intoxication Yonkers man with a grey beard, who approached the ticket to obtain a boarding pass for the Paris-bound flight, reported the New York Post.
The ticket agent asked that Boncorps had in his bag, thinking he might have additional alcohol for long-haul flight. When the intoxicated course Boncorps he said his name was Ben Laden and he had a bomb in his page.
The next part of the story gets... tedious. The ticket clerk has Boncorps the TSA for a regular screening (no word if the agent has been issued a card gate or not).
The TSA agents took then 40 minutes to decide to call the cops, at which point Boncorps was completed with security and was to return his shoes on (his luggage was already on the flight).
A TSA spokesman told the Post: "TSA continues to consider the circumstances of this case." However, travellers can be assured that each employee of TSA and airport is formed to take all threats seriously and notify the application of the Act to ensure the security of the airport and air travellers. ?
Paul Nunziato, President of the Port Authority Police Benevolent Association, had some harsher words for the TSA. "We were lucky that this passenger was not a serious threat." With countless lives have been endangered by the failure of the TSA to follow its own security protocols. If the statements made by the passenger to call the police, while must be sought immediately, and until the passenger between the control point. ?
Boncorps has been charged with filing a false report and later pleaded guilty to misconduct in a Queens Court, for which he was charged the $ 250 fine.
It was a time (just joking!) since a drunk passenger got involved in air transport. In April, a drunken passenger from Dallas to Paris has forced an American Airlines flight to make an emergency landing in Chicago.
