ICYMI: Man threatens to have a bomb aboard GO bus - shuts down 407 for six hours on Saturday

A 28-year-old Hamilton man has been charged with mischief after allegedly telling a passenger on a GO Transit bus that he was carrying a bomb, forcing the closure of Highway 407 for several hours Saturday.

It happened around 9 a.m. ET on a bus travelling between Derry Road and Brittania Road in Milton, Ont.

The suspect is now in police custody. It's unclear whether he posed a serious threat.

FULL STORY

Ed: - This part I find very disturbing (from the Toronto Star): Ontario Provincial Police officers advised the driver to lock the doors of the bus and keep everyone inside until they could arrive.

Back in the 1970s, during the height of the hi-jacking incidents (they all wanted to go to Cuba for some reason), airports started posting warnings on their walls stating DON'T EVEN JOKE ABOUT HAVING A BOMB.
