Three Men Forced To Get Off Plane Even Though They Already Got Off
Bonehead award one goes to three men who caused a full airport security alert in Paris after they each, in turn, locked themselves into the toilet of a plane still waiting to leave for Hong Kong, and crew members, inspecting the toilet afterwards, found “suspicious white drops.”
The three men who were removed from the plane were sailors who just returned from a long stint at sea. Each was carrying pornography.
Although they were not arrested, they weren’t allowed to board the plane again.

Bonehead award two, a “too dumb to be a criminal” bonehead award, goes to a German bank robber who threw a burlap bag over his head as he entered a bank to rob it only to realize that he forgot to cut eye holes in the bag.
He bumped into customers as he headed to the teller. Security cameras recorded his face when he lifted the bag so he could see what he was doing.
He’s been sentenced to four years in jail.
