CHICAGO (CBS) – A man is charged after claiming to have a bomb in his bag at O'Hare Airport Friday, according to CPD director of communications Tom Ahern.
Gilberto Killingbeck, 72, of Boynton Beach, Florida was arrested in Terminal 1 of the airport after jokingly telling TSA that there was a bomb in his bag.
The Chicago Police Bomb and Arson detectives investigated and found no explosives in his bag.
Killingbeck has been charged with one misdemeanor count of disorderly conduct for the incident.
More Florida Man stories then hamburgers sold at McDonalds.
What to call it? Well, it looked a bomb that could be dropped from a aircraft so the catalog name was Bomb.
Some district office was out of the size needed for a job the next day so the national supply warehouse had a someone personally fly out with it from Duncan, OK as Carry On Luggage.
When asked at check-in what was in the box, he of course said Bomb.
After that day, the name was was changed to Second Stage Tool.
True story from my rabbi, first name Jack. As he was walking down the aisle of a plane to his seat, one of our congregants recognized him and shouted out “High Jack”.
He was immediately jumped on by Sky Marshals. Fortunately Rabbi Jack explained to the Marshals that he was “Jack” and Stupid was released.
My joke: To prove that he was a rabbi, he immediately cut off three feet of the plane’s nose and said “Don’t worry, it will grow back”.
