Teen sentenced to prison for airport threats

FORT WORTH, Texas - A 19-year-old Californian could be a poster boy for a campaign warning people to take airport security seriously.

Deshon Brown, an aviation technology student, was sentenced Monday to 18 months in federal prison and ordered to pay a $4,000 fine for phoning in threats of violence to the Dallas/Fort Worth Airport.

Tears streamed down Brown's face as he left the federal courtroom in downtown Fort Worth. His father wrapped his arm around the teen-ager's shoulders.

Brown, who entered the Westwood College Institution of Aviation Technology in the Los Angeles suburb of Inglewood in October, may have to put aside his plans to become a certified aviation mechanic or to carry the badge of a deputy U.S. marshal.

Was this the kid that intentionally got weapons or razors through airport security to prove its weaknesses? If that's the case, no way did he deserve a prison sentence.

Hmmmm, he was going to school for aviation Technology, and wanted to wear a deputy U.S MArshal badge. He can probably forget about either of them. All for a stupid, stupid stunt. The teen is quite an idiot IMHO...

What was this IDIOT thinking! :-? Was he so bored that he went "Well, let's see I have seen that movie already, so let's just call DFW and have some fun!" Good grief, what some people do! :grr: :grrr:
