Follow ups for bomb joke accused

I was trying to find out what happened to various people who allegedly
made bomb jokes. Unfortunately, the links I had for the original reports
of arrest seem mostly to have disappeared, so I don't know what to look for.

However, here's one that's still widely reported

http://www.taipeitimes.com/News/world/archives/2003/08/11/2003063201

From the article:

"A passenger who witnessed the incident told NY1 News, however, that the
pilot appeared to be making a joke. "Apparently one of the co-pilots got
testy at the security and didn't like getting searched so much, and
said, 'Well, what do you think, I have a bomb on me?'"

You can any number of references to this incident, but none that
describe the outcome. If the situation went down as described there, I'd
expect that the case was thrown out. Anyone have any more definite
information?

Sylvia.

I made such a threat once, as a joke. Unfortunately it was taken seriously
and well, I won't go into details, but just don't do it, ever. This wasn't
in Australia, either.
