I honestly don't know just what makes some people tick :nope:

RAF Typhoon jets intercepted a passenger flight and diverted it to Stansted Airport following a suspected "hoax" security alert.
The RAF said its quick reaction alert Typhoon aircraft were deployed on Wednesday morning and safely escorted the plane to the airport, near London.
Flights were temporarily grounded at Stansted but have since resumed.
Ryanair said the flight from Kaunas in Lithuania to Luton was diverted "in line with procedures".
