Flutterby™! : Airline security sillyness

Man arrested after pretending to be an air marshal:

Carrying a ''Fisher Island Chief of Police'' badge and claiming he was a U.S. air marshal, Mark Rimkufski convinced Miami airline employees to allow him on a flight after the gate had closed, police said.

Real air marshals on the aircraft observed the fake badge, kicked him off the plane, but did not detain or arrest him. That happened only after he made trouble in an airport bar later.
