Had a feeling this thread would heat up again today. I'm a MAN flyer too so have a vested interest of sorts. It looks like this was just some d!ckh3@d trying to act the big I Am this time, but I still fail to see how a Typhoon fighter escort made the situation or any potential consequences any better.

Had there really been a bomb (flat phone battery couple with a bottle of water, nasty stuff), there would have at least been a video of the event to pick over.
