What do you think?
A man arrested over "a sick joke" about Ebola on a Dublin-bound plane has been told to pay 2,500 euros (£1,963) to charity to avoid a criminal conviction.
BBC News - Man fined over Ebola joke on Dublin to Milan Aer Lingus flight
Overreaction? Or not?

Re: What do you think?
No, there are some things you do not joke about on a Plane.
like `I have a bomb in my case` and other stupid comments. Because there is no escape.
A lot of people do not feel safe on a plane at the best of times.

Re: What do you think?
Sorry chaps, cannot agree. This was a private joke between a father and his daughter. Aer Lingus must need the publicity!
