Somebody's going to jail. Disgruntled or not, setting off bombs at the airport (even if as a prank) is unacceptable.
LOL, I remember we use to put a little dry ice in a 2 LTR bottle and toss it into the stock room... LOL, watch them stock room guys jump... LOL, no one ever complained, and we just had fun with it... See a few tossed into the leads and foremans office as well... Really great when they are sleeping :) No one got hurt, no one complained,vand everyone laughed. I guess the real problem in this issue is wrong place at the wrong time...
Again, tougher generation that knew the difference between an honest to god BOMB and a little water bottle with some dry ice. In this day and age over reacting seems to be the status quo to everything... Oh well.
Sides, you've got more to worry about from the birds in the cockpit taking a nap in flight or a grease monkey leaving a lug wrench in the control cables. Those things actually have real adverse effects on aircraft lol.

Wrong time and place.
In a passenger terminal that results in a full evacuation certainly qualifies. Not properly thought through.
Then to repeat with multiple bombs in the vicinity of an aircraft at a gate (the day after full evacuation of the terminal), is apparently so that the judge feels no guilt in throwing the book at this guy.
So not the same as a bit of horseplay that might go on in a maintenance hanger, between guys who work together. Makes for an awkward call to airport security. "I was sleeping on the job, and awoken by a loud sound, that seems to have been caused by this plastic bottle exploding and waking me up."

LOL, you are right about that... Still kind of hits my funny bone..
Come on Sparkie...not appropiate or smart. Right now there are "2" Village Idiots in the pokie! How many more are out there?
I agree, but making CO2 explode just hits my funny bone. I also love potato canons.. They are great. Everything has it proper place however. I agree with you the guy used both inappropriate timing and location. I remember along time ago some of the guys used to shoot birds in the hangar with a 22...
Sparkie- How can a bomb scare at an airport be considered funny in any scenario?
The cops got called, the terminal was evacuated and flights were disrupted.
So please tell me how this is funny again.
you usually have a more restrained attitude with your comments.

No offense to you Sparkie, My remark was intended to remind EVERYONE that horseplay in a SECURE area is not something to be taken lightly.
Let him get away with it and the next moron might decide to put more than H2O and Co2 in the bottle. Marbles, rocks, bolts, maybe use a glass container.

No offense taken... I personally feel his bigger problem should have been in a secure area with a badge that should have been turned in... For that he should get jail time... As for the Co2... Even though it gave a good scare to everyone who was already looking for the worst in people.
Looking at the definition of "Explosive Device" I found the following definiton "An explosive device is device that relies on the exothermic reaction of an explosive material to provide an extremely sudden and violent release of energy. Explosive devices have applications as demolition devices and as weapons in the military." With that in mind, I am not sure that the Co2 would in any way shape or form be considered as a demolition device.... However, I can see and understand the fear factors...
Please be careful with your recipes and ideas... You may give someone some ideas. Just a note, I know a fellow that tried that with rocks.... Not enough energy to do anything... was a real dude. Not enough force following it. The guy wanted to see what kind of damage it would do, so they took a 2 foot by 2 foot box and set it off inside... Did not damage the box other thank making it slightly wet... We used a 2 LTR coke bottle.

You are right. No more recipes.
