Passenger arrested after Panama-bound plane returns to Toronto

Canadian man, 25, “made a direct threat against the aircraft” during the flight, Sunwing says.

His it just me or are they trying to put the fear into us about flying

Only good thing about this is it look like the passenger put a quick stop to this and plane return to
Toronto with two F16 flighter escort.

Never ever plant the suggestion, bro, even if meant as a joke at the moment.

The lad's parents allegedly told CBC that they had been trying to get some kind of help for him on numerous occasions, but their pleas always fell on deaf ears.

Now this to me illustrates a serious problem we have, namely that the same kind of pleas and unsatisfactory results happened before the recent NB RCMP murders. Police policies across the country seem to be to ignore it if no crime has been committed yet. However responsible crime prevention demands that the breach between mental health services and the many police forces is an obvious one where all the cops would have to do would be to do a referral to the services via phone and request they contact the parents for a possible intervention or evaluation. This time a corporation lost money, and maybe they will lodge a complaint that might get better results. A constructive solution is far, far better than inaction.

They were grounded in WV. I'm glad I wasn't there picking up or dropping off family when this happened. They're already nervous flying. I immediately thought about The Fockers movie where he said "bomb" on the plane.
