When will John Estrada learn?

It was just a few months ago when John Estrada was briefly held at the Zamboanga Airport for cracking a bomb joke. John was accosted by authorities when he told the person who searched his bag that it contained a bomb.

John later apologized and said it was just a joke. In times like this when threat of terrorism is filling up the air, such a joke was uncalled for. And I thought John Estrada already learned a lesson from that experience.

But during the Holy Week, John Estrada was again arrested by airport authorities when the airport scanning machine detected objects that form like bullets inside his hand-carried bag. A thorough search led to the seizure of several live bullets from the actor's bag.

John was seen on TV being handcuffed by policemen. A charge was reportedly readied but I'm one of those who are waiting for the case to be filed in court. John said it was an honest mistake that the bullets where in his bag.

Let's give him the benefit of a doubt but I hope the police will pursue the case.
