Here's one for all you jokester's out there. :D

A Swiss air traffic controller jokingly put an 'al-Qaeda' label on a French helicopter that strayed into restricted air space during the Group of Eight summit, nearly leading to a shootdown by the French air force, officials confirmed today. ... Oswald Sigg, spokesman for the Swiss Defence Department, described the incident as 'certainly something bad' with potentially 'disastrous consequences.

It couldn't have been all bad, I mean it WAS french.

They would have just blamed it on us, anyway.
