He sent a message, threatening to blow an airport "sky high", in frustration over news that it had been closed due to snow, but always maintained that he was obviously joking. He has now been fined £385 plus a victim surcharge. He was then ordered to pay prosecution costs of £2,600 on top of his original fine and now has a criminal conviction.
