Lion Air in Thailand are very annoyed at a man who mentioned the word bomb when he was trying to flirt with an attendant on one of their flights.
The passenger Pichit Boondaeng, 23, now faces up to five years jail time and a 200,000 baht fine for a criminal charge of instigating panic because of his flippant comment.

Local police have said Pichit was “teasing” the flight attendant as the flight was boarding by repeatedly telling her to be careful with his bag because there was a bomb hidden inside. The flight attendant did not see this as adequate flirting and immediately reported the man’s comments to the pilot who evacuated the flight instantly. The flight was then cancelled.
President of Airports of Thailand Public Co. Ltd., Nitinai Sirismatthakarn, said Thai Lion Air is prepared to sue Pichit for a million baht in damages caused by his actions.
The pilot is also willing to file a lawsuit against the unruly passenger.
The airline company rescheduled the flight for the next day.
oh shit, this is similar to a movie i watched last week, the guy in the movie saw his friend and was like "hi jack" and the passengers misheard him and taught he meant hijack, the panic was hilarious
