The tourist was deported after a joke about a bomb at Frankfurt Airport

The 38-year-old American of Egyptian descent was faced with serious consequences after he joked about the presence of a bomb in his luggage at Frankfurt Airport, Bild said. The incident, which occurred on February 13, led to the evacuation of the Lufthansa flight and the instant deportation of a man in the United States.

The passenger was going to sit on the flight of Lufthansa, who was heading to Chicago. For safety reasons, the plane was evacuated, and the airport employees conducted a thorough inspection. Despite the fact that they did not find explosives on board, the delay was two and a half hours before passengers were transplanted to another flight. At the same time, the airline Lufthansa refused to allow this passenger for one of her flights.

The German authorities immediately responded to this incident, and the Frankfurt prosecutor’s office confirmed the beginning of an investigation against a passenger on charges of “violation of public order through a threat of crime.” As a result, the American was deported to the United States, now he is forbidden to enter Germany for a period of at least five years.
