Journalists in Al Qaeda Airlines Hoax

December 7, 2007

Did you hear the one about the two journalists that walked into a Romanian airport wearing Al Qaeda Airline uniforms and put fake bombs on planes?
…No, it’s not the setup for a joke, it really did happen.
An investigation has been launched after the pair entered Baneasa Airport in Bucharest wearing hats and overalls marked “Al Qaeda Airlines”.
Alexandru Cautis and Catalin Prisacaru, from the Academia Catavencu newspaper, drove into a supposedly secure parking area, reserved for airport staff, unchallenged.
Once inside, they were able to place fake bombs on passenger planes without being questioned. They were also able to access a section of the airport used by the military where they walked around a Hercules plane being prepared for take-off , again unchecked by anyone.
They said: “We heard from people who used this airport that the security is very lax and wanted to prove it. We could have had a bazooka in our car and as much dynamite as we wanted.”
The transport ministry has now started an investigation.
