What does it cost to turn a plane around because someone wrote a note that cost them two or three cents?

This is the sort of thing that just begs for a lawsuit to make US waste money on a response and defense.

The stupid employee is a given - but the flight crew and terminal manager going along with this stupidity? Give me a break

I remember a similar thread a while back when we discussed making up cards we could slip into airline magazines or leave somewhere. The card would contain this very terroristic-looking writing:

أتمنى لك نهارا سعيدا

Translation (per Google Translator): "Have a nice day."

VistaPrint.com would be ideal for something like that. You could get 250 printed up pretty cheap.
