Really? How did he ever think that this was going to be ok...

 

A teenager has been charged with mischief for packing a bomb-shaped alarm clock in his carry-on.

Peel Police said that the 15-year-old, who was en route to Vancouver, was pulled aside after a screening officer noticed the object in his luggage.

Const. George Tudos said the explosive disposal unit was dispatched to Terminal 3, the screening area was shut down, and the surrounding area was evacuated for about three hours.

The constable said that he was charged, not for bringing the fake bomb, but for "interfering with the lawful use, enjoyment or operation of property," which is a mischief offence.

"The moral of the story is make sure the items you pack are allowed on a plane," George Tudos said. "I mean, what did he think was going to happen if he packed something like this?"
