    When Late For a Plane, Don't Say You Are an Air Marshal

    Miami Herald:
    Police: Traveler got on Miami plane using fake badge

    BY DAVID OVALLE

    Carrying a ''Fisher Island Chief of Police'' badge and claiming he was a U.S. air marshal, Mark Rimkufski convinced Miami airline employees to allow him on a flight after the gate had closed, police said.

    The ruse landed him in jail, Miami-Dade police said, when he was confronted -- by real air marshals on the plane.

    Rimkufski, 49, was later charged with falsely impersonating a law enforcement officer. He was scheduled to appear in Miami-Dade court Thursday but did not because he was hospitalized for unspecified reasons.

    There is no Fisher Island police department. [Full Article]
    Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem.
    All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them under control.
    I trust you are not in too much distress. —Captain Eric Moody, British Airways Flight 9
