Oh, misread that...limo tint black on the windows...probably testing or securing an area — opinion-speculation.

“Doctor gets probation for making Sea-Tac bomb threats”
By Christine Clarridge
Seattle Times staff reporter

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “A Tennessee physician who phoned in three bomb threats to Seattle-Tacoma International Airport last year to keep his plane from leaving without him has been given three years of probation and ordered to 500 hours of free medical service to the poor.

Kou Wei “James” Chiu, 32, of Nashville, told U.S. District Judge Richard Jones that he realized he was fortunate for not going to prison, and said he was grateful for the “consideration” shown him by federal authorities and their recommendation for probation.

Chiu had faced up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Mike Lang defended the government’s recommendation for a lenient sentence, saying Chiu had a “unique constellation” of qualities, including no criminal history and the ability to pay back society with medical care.

Chiu claimed in court documents that he had failed to take his antidepressants responsibly in the days leading up to his arrest and that his “impulsive” action was connected to a “maniclike episode” brought on by fluctuating drug levels.”
