I disagree that he didn't endanger anybody. He most certainly did. Evacuating an aircraft because there may be a bomb on it leaves a lot of room for panic-related injuries. Having said that, though, I think his sentence was reasonable, considering his apparent regret and cooperation, indicating that he isn't likely to do this again. That's still a pretty penny he's got to pay...
