A group of 18 British tourists were thrown off a plane in Israel after one of them allegedly threatened to blow up the aircraft. One of the passengers, who were all men, was led away by security forces after being ejected from the British Airways jet at Ben Gurion Airport near Tel Aviv.

slightly drunk or not,there are two words for people,especially in a group, who would make the comments attributed to this person,"brainless idiot"!security in Israel and on their aircraft is even more stringent than other places..

Just to pick a nit, one word would do - if one is "brainless" they obviously would be an "idiot". (Don't get riled, I'm being silly.)

Should never “joke” like that anytime but especially in Israel. Had it been El Al, they probably would have been spread eagled on the concrete so fast, their heads would have spun off their bodies. Mush for brains

Long walk back to the UK. Doubt any airline will want to fly them.

see also; Oxford Collegiate Dictionary - TWIT - a fat-handed lager git thinking he has going to be cute with the IDF. Now, most likely banned from any flights from the UK, most likely banned from returning to Israel. All for running his pie-hole without regard to what is coming out of it on an international flight in a country that has a very dim view of said 'humour' ergo; twit.

Israel takes security to a whole new level. If these idiots didn't know that before they boarded their flight, they sure know it now.

All airlines have a standard policy of zero tolerance for disrupting a flight and not obeying crew instructions. If you don’t know that, then perhaps you shouldn’t board and airplane drunk and belligerent!

Was on a gambling charter out of LAS when some drunk idiot joked "I wonder if they will find my bomb". The poor SOB was arrested at the gate and I was later told that he had to pay $$ for the entire bomb inspection team as well as $$ overtime for all involved that had arrested him + more $$ for airplane parking fees.

Alcohol and airports are the worst possible security failure. Stop letting morons get drunk at airports. Stop selling alcohol. PERIOD.

when i hear stories like this, it reminds me of my own stupidity or lack of situational awareness.
mid 1980s.
a co-worker and myself were flying from tulsa to houston for the offshore technology conference held annually.
i met my co-worker at the then version of security. as it was an early morning flight, i greeted my co-worker by saying, "hi jack".
