Idiot for the day

The BBC has an article about a drunk Norwegian (or is that redundant?):
A Norwegian tourist has been caught sleeping on a moving baggage belt at Rome's Fiumicino airport. The unnamed 36-year-old man reportedly climbed over one of the check-in desks and fell asleep on the belt that takes luggage to be loaded on to planes. When the belt started moving, he travelled for around fifty meters curled up in the foetal position. He apparently remained asleep after airport staff spotted him in the x-ray machine, stopped the belt, and alerted police. The tourist, who appeared to have been drinking heavily, will now face charges in relation to the incident, according to Italy's La Repubblica newspaper.
The incident has raised questions about security at the airport, but a police spokesperson told the paper that the man could not have got through to secure areas of the airport.
"There is a security system, a sort of roll-up blind, which can only be opened by the members of staff who loads the baggage," the officer said. "The Norwegian could have carried on going round the main belt, but he could never have ended up in sensitive areas of the airport."
Rico says the guy probably wondered what the hell happened when he woke up...
