Oh well. Just when you start thinking those guys aint all dummies, they
pull a f**k up like that.

Apparently, *they* didn't think it was so serious.

Unfortunately there are effectively two "theys" here. The feds, who
stayed on
the plane I'd suspect (which is in and of itself a bit odd since they
aren't suppose
to be ID'ed). The police two whom I suspect he was given. The police
probably
didn't feel much like dealing with a cross jurisdictional issue. The
article blames
it on his blabbering, but for all we know they got a call telling them
to go find
the guy. His mouth may have been just a side effect of it all.

I don't know how much you fly, but most air marshalls stick out like a sore
thumb.

Most likely you're right.

I think you're right again.
