# ah, if i didn't have to fly so much, perhaps.
but i'm in and out of airports far too often and, well, you can see how that scene would play out...

# whenever you're at an airport,
cover up the writing with a rucksack.

# My friend's girlfriend
thought it would be terribly funny to bring him back an Osama Bin Laden tshirt from Africa. He daren't wear it, for obvious reasons. It's a wicked awesome tshirt though, OBL's face over the 2 towers. No disrespect to the dead of 9/11 of course.

# why not wear it?
i don't understand.
oh, well, apart from in america, yeh.

# Well
you don't know who you're going to bump into. Plus, it might look like he's pro-osama.

# what's wrong with being pro-osama?
it's a democracy isn't it?
(I helped save b3ta! Sir Sand GOBLIN ^popular page dis, Sun 28 Mar 2004, 4:56, archived)
# democracy means:
-there is no law that someone cannot be pro-osama.

-there is no law that someone cannot beat the shit out of someone who is pro-osama.

# i don't think the pro-osama bit would be as worrying
as the towers.
i'd be more worried about running into someone who knew someone who died in the towers.

# Yeah
that too.

It's a good job that the crap airport security didnt find the tee in her bag. She'd have had some explaining to do...

# inexplicably
i've been stopped for an ancient and terribly blunt pair of scissors i forgot i had in my bag once.
but i've never been stopped for the 8 million computer wires i routinely take through, although they look a whole heck of a lot more like part of a bomb.

# the classic is to be stopped for a nail file
and then being able to buy them on the plane
('tin'tintin, Sun 28 Mar 2004, 5:05, archived)
# really?
can't buy 'em on any of the airlines i've been on....

they even do things like none of the restaurants in the airport can have knives anymore, not even plastic ones, so if you get a bagel with creamcheese you have to spread it with a spoon.

# not to worry
just take the gun from the pilot

# Someone or other whose blog I read
made a hobby of taking away the (flimsy, blunt) knives he got with his airline meals and then getting them confiscated by the next check-in guard.

# aaahhh, a pasttime
worthy of all.
that sounds like fun, but sadly none of the airlines i fly have knives of any sort anymore :(

# i know someone who knew someone
who saw the towers falling down.
i'd still wear it though.

# my aunt worked there.
one of her coworkers had an errand to run that morning, and my aunt didn't want to do work so she went with her. that was a big eeep for my entire family.
plus a friend of the family who works at the pentagon and was in the hospital for a week after getting hit in the head with falling plaster there.
