Man arrested for buying air ticket just to go his wife to the gate / Boing Boing

The Singapore Police Force arrested a man at Changi Airport to buy a plane ticket just to go his wife to the gate and say goodbye. He apparently had no intention of flying anywhere. It sounds like a lovely airport to visit, but I hope he bought a fully refundable ticket. From CNN:
Anyone who can access the areas at the port of Changi without intending to fly can be indicted under Singapore's Infrastructure Protection Act and fined $ 20,000 ($ 14,300) or imprisoned for up to two years. Thirty three people have been arrested under the law for the first eight months of 2019 …
When Changi's new Jewel terminal opened in April, headlines came across the globe for its 40-foot waterfall (the world's largest indoor one ), a 14,000-square-foot canopy park, complete with suspension bridge, topiary and maze, and one of Asia's largest indoor gardens with 3,000 trees and 60,000 shrubs.
