Imagine the headlines though! (says your will boss, or bosses boss)

It's still stupid, but they are imagining the news:

> This guy said "it's probably fine" right before Flight 1337 explodes over the Atlantic.

Now personally I'd actually be willing to take that risk: the odds are so overwhelmingly in favor of it being a dumb prank; you might as well refuse to take a shower for fear of slipping on the soap.

But all it takes is one person up the chain of command to say "this would be bad PR" and you've lost your job.
