So basically the Sheriff just told everyone how to get a police response at an airport.

“This guy is an idiot. He should have done it this way. What a jerk.”

Florida, man.

I love the quote from the Sheriff about ripping the guys tongue out of his mouth. I know a few podcasts that will have a field day with this story between the idiot caller and Sheriff Chitwoods comments.

So, I'm at a loss trying to figure out why someone would do this. For kicks? For fun? For stupidity? The airport was 'swat'ed?

At some level this is funny, I suppose, but...
