most recent unreported al qaeda panic sowing missions

On Tuesday 27th April a flight from Paris to Atlanta carrying 273 passengers was diverted to Maine after a former US army staffer claimed to have explosives in his shoes and backpack.

 

On Wednesday 28th April a flight from Houston to Washington was diverted to North Carolina after the word BOMB was found written on the mirror in the toilet. No one was detained over the incident. Al Qaeda often uses members of ground crew maintenance staff to write BOMB on toilets before take off to cause diversions.

 

I'd say forty year jail terms for giving the impression a plane has a bomb on it might focus the minds of Al Qaeda's panic sowers on the wrongness of their behaviour.
