(KSL News) A joke did not go over well at the Salt Lake International Airport, and this morning the man who made it had to face a judge.

Jack Roberson is charged with one count of making a false threat related to air travel. On Friday he was going through airport security when a TSA agent asked him about a bulky item in his bag. Roberson jokingly said it was a bomb.

The agents didn't think that was funny and placed him under arrest.
