...unless it's something else, like a lone individual with severe mental problems with no real objective or motive.

 

Notwitshtanding its already been a false alarm.

 

How many bomb plots have there been with lone individuals, with no objective and motive?

It was a hoax. What sort of person leaves a box, with a timer, in a toilet on a plane?

 

Maybe they had a bet with someone about the time the journey would take or maybe they just didn't want to go to Paris.

 

Pity they didn't plant it in the toilets at my office.

I wonder if they will be charged with anything. If they believe it was a bomb hoax then that can be a serious matter.

Well if you smoke in the toilets on a plane or cause a serious disturbance the crew will arrest you and divert the plane to another airport. The fine is many thousands of pounds.

Why wasn't the Preston shopping centre incident treated as a bomb hoax instead of an arson charge?

I am unsure, but it may be that the device wasnt classified as a bomb or that it wasnt meant to be discovered, which would rule out the hoax aspect.

 

Arson with intent to endnager life is still a serious crime. It has a maximum life imprisonment.

Because it was arson and not a bomb hoax. The device as described wasn't a hoax bomb it was a primative incendiary device. Hence actual arson not a hoax bomb.
