Looks like it’s time to add profane, sarcastic notes to the list of things you shouldn’t fly with these days.
A Paxton teenager was arraigned on a felony charge yesterday morning after he and his family were removed from a plane bound for Hawaii following the discovery of a profanity-filled note referencing a bomb in his luggage examined at Logan International Airport.

Socha was arrested by State Police and his mother, father, and sister, were ordered off United Airlines Flight 171 to Honolulu via San Francisco, which was set to depart at 7:07 a.m.
According to the police report, the note, which was placed on top of clothes in a black gym bag read: ”[Expletive] you. Stay the [expletive] out of my bag you [expletive] sucker. Have you found a [expletive] bomb yet? No, just clothes. Am I right? Yea, so [expletive] you.”
This was not a bomb threat, nor a danger to the flight. This was a 17 year old kid leaving a juvenile note in his bag. Nothing more.

Stuff like this pisses me off. I understand that there’s a need for heightened security these days, but this is ridiculous.
