    A security alert was declared at Dublin Airport today following an incident on an Aer Lingus flight from Milan.

    It is understood a passenger on the plane claimed he had Ebola after writing it on a coffee cup.

    Gardaí say they are at the scene of a public order offence.

    In a statement to RTÉ News, Aer Lingus said: "A security issue arose on flight EI 433 (Milan to Dublin.) As a precaution passengers and crew were temporarily held on board the aircraft at Dublin airport while the matter was investigated."

    Now unlike our friend in Stansted the other day, this is a very different kettle of fish.

    Claiming to have a highly transmittable disease that has the planet on alert at the moment in a confined space like an aircraft reveals a level of stupidity that is hard to match.

    He should be taken to the isolated observation unit at the Mater hospital and held there for three weeks to assertain whether he is bullshítting or not.

    Then if this proves to be the case (which I suspect it is), upon his discharge, he should have label placed on his back with the words 'I'M A GOBSHÍTE' written on it and be kicked up and down O'Connell Street Dublin for an hour on a busy Saturday afternoon..

    All they have to do is check, that he hasnt been to high risk countries and he is fine. There is no need for the tax payers to keep him in the mater for 3 weeks.

    Although he sounds like he might be spending in the next 3 weeks in John of Gods, because he doesnt sound 100% in the mind to me

    Was the passenger Italian? Could have just been a miscommunication issue due to a poor standard of spoken & written English. Chances are he was just hungry & asking for a bowl o' soup.

    I was in Melbourne airport once, behind a moron who thought it would be funny to say 'No just the bomb' to the security guy in response to the 'Any liquids, iPad?' question.

    Panels in the walls opened and all these guys like SWAT came out and wrestled him to the ground. I hope the smack his head hit the ground with was enough to knock some sense into him.

    There are some terrible fools in the world.

    Reminds me of when I started work for a certain directory enquiry line here in Ireland.
    This was in 2004 and during the training, the HR manager talks about the use of the phone handsets. She showed us that the phones could dial-out but never to do that (as the company would get charged) and "never ever think about having a laugh and winding someone up" So she goes into an example of when the company had to fire someone.

    Basically, a guy was taking directory calls one day and he decides to dial out. But rather than making a call to one of his friends or even just ringing the service to wind up another colleague (which I admit to doing myself :pac: ) ... No. He rings the reception of the building and states there is an explosive device planted. Que the evacuation of the building (which housed more than one business) and utter mess.

    But it's what the HR manager says that always makes me laugh... "if the ejjit only used his mobile instead we wouldnt of been able to find out who made the call. I'll never know what dawned on him to use the company line" :pac:

    Short of smearing poo on an open cut or gobsmacking an Ebola carrier, the odds of contracting it are quite low even if you are in a confined space. I think the world needs to calm down a little.......

    In fairness, what are the odds that someone would say that while being frisked in an airport, as a joke? You'd have to be profoundly stupid. So statistically speaking, he was as likely to mean it.

    Why would you do that anyway, you have just ruined your Irish holiday and held everyone else up on the plane unnecessarily, what a prune.

    Still I'd like to know what the specific details are.

    Like if it was a girl and her parents and they're drinking coffee etc and she writes I have a Ebola on a coffee cup and hands it to her dad and says "try this" and then when he does, laugh and point at the text and tell him he has now got Ebola, while certainly stupid, it wouldn't warrant in my view, the action taken by the authorities or the flight crew
