I think it would be pretty naive by now not to realise that at least it's implied that certain words such as this should not be spoken in any context on board an aircraft. And your next suggestion would be that we should not even think certain words in that context ? It spooks me when I see this world becoming more and more like Orwell's 1984, Huxley's Brave New World or Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451 ...

Well, sorry, but this kind of happiness is not the one I'm aspiring to.You're pinning the tail on the wrong donkey. We get the govts we vote for, and what everybody's voting for these days is safety from the excesses of a certain religion ... It's that religion - really more of a personality cult - that's the problem. We will continue to forfeit more & more of our freedoms until that cult is effectively contained and dealt with.In the meantime, the danger to travelers IS a reality. To ignore the burdens that imposes on ALL of us is to play with fire. Play with fire, expect to get burned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's your problem if you can't understand the difference of expressing freedom of expression on the ground compared to freedom of expression when confined within a metal tube at 36,000 feet.

That is exactly what they want. Well just try using it next time you are on a plane and let us know how that worked out for you. If we all stop using airtravel then they have won!!Not before that.

Is there a "Freedom to say bomb at an airport Liberation" group ? Get back to your history books, the Baader Meinhof group's goal was to turn Germany back into a fascist stage. Isn't this in progress right now in US and Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4MyEgo Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Thai Smile losing face here badly IMO, absolutely disgusting seeing the immaturity of the stewardess smiling and giggling throughout the situation. A customer and her falang husband removed from the flight because she decided to show her superiority, well I would really love to see how far this gets escalated. Obviously a tit for tat situation with this bimbo stewardess going overboard and delaying the plane for 35 minutes, bomb on the flight, just goes to show she couldn't lose face at the expense of those on the plane and those waiting for the passengers to arrive, from family to hotel drivers, absolute idiot IMO. As for the boarding pass, it would have been seen when entering screening, and boarding the plane, why the need to see it again, as for how many bags she had is irrelevant, it had nothing to do with the situation.

joy16 Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Video: Passenger kicked off Thai Smile flight for saying “bomb” A Thai woman was thrown off a Thai Smile plane after cabin crew heard her say the word “bomb”. The flight, number WE137, was moments from taking off at Chiang Rai airport on Friday evening when the woman was overheard saying “bomb” by one of the flight attendants who reported it to the captain who in turn contacted the police. [/url] A video of the incident was shared on the Kapook Facebook page. The incident meant the flight, which was destined for Suvarnabhumi, took off 35 minutes later than scheduled. Kapook reported the woman was travelling with her foreign husband. Kapook also said that the woman and her foreign husband had earlier become annoyed when cabin crew asked to see their boarding passes. There was no information on if the woman was charged over the incident. Source: Kapook -- [emoji767] Copyright Thai Visa News 2017-06-24 Why the OP is different from the Thai version that you are linking to? In the link to kapook.com, they mentioned the foreign husband said "bomb" which is clearly opposite from this OP. And the Thai basher is going on and on.

Yes, sometimes that happen when they are with foreigner they felt they had achieve something in their social life .Even the "Katoay" do that, you could see they try to behave in an elegant manner, like circus freaks. I once had a katoay colleague and I really felt like sticking a broomstick up the behind if I may say so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stargeezr Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Some things you just do not say on a plane or near security at an airport, unless of course you are an idiot and want trouble. Hi Jack, Bomb, I've got a gun. or pretend to be a raving lunatic. These people should have known better. Geezer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ncc1701d Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 If the airline was serious, they would have disembarked everyone and done a proper search of the aircraft. All that's happened is two people that are suspected of possibly blowing up an airplane (somehow), will now not be on the flight. Did they offload checked in bags?
