Yeah, it's not going to bring down any airliners though. Worst case
scenario it might annoy the heck out of the pilot. Maybe give him a lasting
blind spot. Which would suck for the pilot, but nobody is gonna die.
I think it's just another example of this administration making sure we
have something to be afraid of.
Throwing the patriot act at the guy is silly. They're swatting flies
with heavy artillery. We need a Dumbass Act, where if you've found to have
pulled a moronic jackass stunt that caused a great deal of inconvenience
and wasted time, they put you in stocks in the busiest part of your home
town, so your old school chums can come kick you in the ass and throw food
at you. Just for a couple days.
What this guy pulled is no more than malicious mischief.

Oh, come on. Bashing BigHa is a time-honored tradition! Please tell me
you blew several grand on one of those apparently lead-lined bikes! We're
so eager to hear about them!
50 pounds, $4000, you've gotta be kidding me. I think BigHa isn't really
trying to sell bikes. I think they're putting on a show for their
investors.
