When a flight attendant asked him to close his laptop after boarding, Shafermeyer says he jokingly asked her, “Are you the one who checks for shoe bombs?” Within minutes, federal agents removed him from the plane. He spent much of his time in the St. Louis County jail in solitary confinement. Shafermeyer says he’s charged with making a false bomb report.

One has to wonder what the chances of a Muslim, devout enough to kill himself, boarding a plane drunk then making a shoe bomb joke to the infidel flight attendant while the plane is grounded?
