Well, seems like America has lost all sence of humour.
Pilot held over air ‘joke’
An Air France pilot has been arrested at New York’s John F Kennedy Airport after reportedly joking at a security checkpoint that he had a bomb in his shoes.
A Port Authority spokeswoman said the pilot was detained after making what she described as an inappropriate remark.
The pilot, who was not identified, was later charged with falsely reporting an incident.
Flight AF009, which had been due to leave New York late on Friday, was delayed as a result and 350 passengers had to stay in local hotels overnight.
The flight eventually left for Paris Charles de Gaulle airport after a new co-pilot flew in from Paris, an Air France spokesman in Paris told BBC News Online.
The airline said the pilot had been arrested following “misinterpreted remarks”.
A witness told the French news agency AFP that the man had jokingly referred to a bomb in his shoes as he passed through security.
Airport police detained him and he is due to appear before a judge, as early as Sunday, on charges which could result in a jail term of up to 11 years, the agency said.

Outstandingly fantastic.
Would I try it?……probably not, once kids come along life is more valuable.
Would I have done it before kids? NO GODDAM WAY! RofL, he’s within 15 feet of rockside and ground (When he goes past the road). One microburst and he’s a 6 foot diameter red puddle.
There’s plenty more Wingsuit vids out there but that is one of the best.
May I suggest you do a Google or YouTube search on “31 wheeled roller suit in Swiss Alps”.
Another equally nutty activity, but this guy is the only one that does this. Music by Muse, “Map of the problematique”. Speed of roller blader, about 70mph.
