Answer:
A Florida man at an airport claims he was attempting to “flirt” with another traveler when he made a bomb threat.

The story:
Miami native Alan Borinsky, 70, told police he was “trying to be funny” when he made the remark at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport last Friday. Two witnesses overheard him tell another passenger something like “If the bomb in my bag goes off prematurely, I apologize to your family in advance.” The two witnesses reported his comments to police. Borinsky was arrested and charged with making a false bomb report.
* I guess the old “I’m going to kill you with this axe” line just doesn’t work the way it used to.
* “Did you hear that? Of course that guy doesn’t have a bomb, but should we get him thrown off the plane, or cut him a break?” “Hmm. I don’t like his face. Let’s report him.”
* As they hauled him away did he yell, “Call me!”?
* As pick-up lines go, it bombed.
