This is the funniest thread I have read in a long time. (yes, I know it's got serious content as well).

Thanks for the laughs, guys. (and for knowing what to do if this ever happens to me or dh)

It's "Joey, have you ever been to a Turkish prison?" not sauna.

Looks like the OP made the post two weeks ago and has not returned. It would be nice to figure out how anyone could become so angry by what he did. It is clearly not justified to react like that but did the whole boarding process get held up or something? Did he think he was ignoring the agent on purpose? Must be more to the story.

Of course, the sad thing is people have been shot on the jetbridge for not responding to marshalls.

Was that comment made to be funny because it was not. You were not in the jet bridge when the passenger said that he had a Bomb. Keep dumb as_ comments like that to your self.

I doubt it was a FAM. Believe it or not but a FAM would get suspended for acting like this, not for breaking cover but for conduct unbecoming an officer. If it was a FAM he would of flashed his creds or pulled out his chain badge from under his shirt but I do not think it was a FAM. I have never broken cover while on board the aircraft in over 5 years and if the aircraft door is open I would let the airport police handel anything that happens on the aircraft with the exception of a deadly force situation like the Miami shooting that occurred on December of 2005.
