I think this is funny.
Via Wikipedia, this is a list of the charges against Richard Reid (aka Shoe-bomber aka world-class asshole and Al-Qaeda operative). See if you can find the funny one:
I. Attempted Use of Weapon of Mass Destruction
II. Attempted Homicide
III. Placing an Explosive Device on Aircraft
IV. Attempted Murder
V. Interference with Flight Crew and Attendants
VI. Attempted Destruction of an Aircraft
VII. Using a Destructive Device During and in Relation to a Crime of Violence
VIII. Attempted Wrecking of a Mass Transportation Vehicle
He was found guilty of all charges and sentenced to life in a super maximum security prison. So. Yes. 12.5% of the reason that the infamous shoe-bomber, enemy of freedom and would-be destroyer of human life, is imprisoned for life, is that his actions got in the way of the work of flight attendants.
The fact that they even bothered with this charge in the face of everything else he did and planned really made me laugh. There is very little else to say about this.
