There’s a questionable outlet on Twitter that claims the flight attendant noticed “Unusual Repairs” before takeoff.
Do you mean a war in space with spaceships? some war on an alien planet? Or a war on earth?
Terrible luck, but she’ll have the wildest story for her friends.
I tried to look through a lot of cases. It seemed like most every case was leaking information, threats of actual violence, stolen valor, or other generally agreed upon crimes. There’s truth to the notion that a government is more likely to look for crimes if you’re a specific person, but I don’t know of anyone in the modern US who goes to jail for lying about things the army has done. I use the word “lying” because Russia courts make the claim that that’s what happened here.
Also, there are more recent cases of Russia imprisoning someone for essentially this same crime.
