I know you can't lie to the cops but lying to security staff I thought was not illegal just like lying to your friends?

856414 2010-02-09 00:25:00 The point is, he did / said it at an airport. Because of security measures. They take bomb threats seriously. If you said the same thing, you'll get arrested as well Speedy Gonzales (78)

856419 2010-02-09 01:06:00 And the other joke here: "Hamilton International Airport" :D

I know it's designated as one - it just seems so... OTT...

EDIT: Ooooh! Scary. They found a Swiss Army Knife. Must be a Swiss-based terrorist.

856420 2010-02-09 01:18:00 I fly quite frequently to Aus and on one occasion I struck the same Customs / Security officer I had struck before on previous trips.

Now I usually carry a Duffle type bag with “Speights” on it and on previous occasions he had mentioned in passing that he’d travelled around NZ and what a great drop “Speights” was.

Anyway, this time I strike him again and opened the conversation with the following line: “You’re in luck, the resident terrorist is back again”.

He took me aside and the conversation went like this: Mate, I know you’re only joking, but I give you fair warning, Never, Ever, use the word Bomb or Terrorist in the Airport Security area. There are microphones everywhere, and the possibly of some over zealous individual spoiling your whole holiday is right on the cards.

The Aussies are deadly serious about security, almost to the point of paranoia, so I’m sure the same has happened there as well.

Let it be a warning to all. :xmouth:

856421 2010-02-09 01:22:00 Wouldn't joke about it at all...

When they take you into the back room... I hear they do terrible things... No jihad or amount of money or drugs or whatever are worth having some big ass dude called Bob shoving his hand up your bumhome and having a lookey feely in there.

Or the cock-meat-sandwich you get if they take you to Guantanamo Bay...
