So, what do you think, does this become the new fraternity prank? "Let's call in a fake threat and see if we can get an airliner diverted?" School's back in a week or so, wonder if we see more of this following drunken frat parties.

I would hope that no one is that stupid, otherwise have fun with bubba for those idiots for sure if they find them.
