Fake bomb threat leads to probation
Mark Randall Rayborn will be on probation for the next four years. He was accused of telling an off-duty Northwest Airlines pilot that he had five pounds of explosives in his carry-on.
The plane was pulling back from the gate at Denver International Airport last year when Rayborn broke the news to the man sitting next to him while grabbing his bag. As a result of this episode, the flight was delayed for four hours while bomb-sniffing dogs searched the plane. All 140 passengers were screened again.
The 56-year-old gump responsible for making air travel even more difficult will celebrate his 60th birthday with the thought that he's repaid his debt to society. Somehow, it doesn't seem like enough.
