She got sentenced to two years on probation and will possibly face compensation charges of 1,3 Mio. Euro by the Duesseldorf Airport Authority and several airlines.
The probational sentence is a total joke IMO - where's the deterrent for copycats in such cases? At least she will have to live close to the poverty line for the last 50 or so years of her miserable existence, because she'll have to pay off the compensation.
I only fear that she will become a wellfare case so all the honest people have to pay for her through their tax money.

Is there a way of ensuring that people like this are totally banned from
flying in commercial airplanes?

I fear that she might, at some point, file for personal bankrupcy, live close to poverty for the mandatory 7 years afterwards, and then restart her life without the rest of the debt... or does the bankrupcy law here in Germany prohibit the use in such a case?
But, honestly - phoning a bomb-threat to avoid taking a holiday with your boyfriend because your parents are against the liaison and you don't want them to find out about it? How stupid is that!!!
I hope that they do ban her from flying again, at least until she pays off the damages (personal/private bankrupcy or not).
I think I've said this before in another thread: some people just have to learn the hard way...

In far too many places, including the USA, we do not punish with any or significant jail time people whom place false alarms of bombs, fires, ect. Often those who do these things are minors, so cannot really get jail time. In other cases, the sanity of the person is questionable. The fact that in this case the woman here will face a substantial financial judgment may hurt her badly. Still, a couple of years in jail, with the trial and punishment well publicized, could help to deter future such acts.

What's really stupid is the fact that she didn't have the sense to use a public phone!

Chances are she will do her time, and while she is in there she will write a book on how her life is so fricking troubling because her mom is a power hungry, possessive, and dominating shrew.

While doing time she will probably get a law degree on the state and become born again....

Wonders never cease.
Once again, a human has pushed the envelope... Setting a new standard on how stupid someone can be. Record setters like her ought to have their photo published in the media for all the world to see. After all, record lottery jackpot winners and people who are cruel to little dogs get to have their picture in the papers. Well, so should stupid people.

This sentence is not only a joke - its a kind of "invitation" for all the copycats out there to try it again on their own. There is no deterrent by the law and the chance to get caught is quite slim (if you act a little more intelligent as the woman did). In these days of (more or less) constant threat by terrorists it is just to easy for these idiots to cause a panic and to turn you your everyday live into a mess. It should be in the interest of each and every country to stop this by inflicting a hard punishment for any of these fake threats. There are some verdicts that I will never ever understand!
Born to fly! It's more than a passion - it's a yearning!! At home in DUS(Dusseldorf)!
