Air travelers in Canada who make comments about bombs and guns will from now on only be arrested if it is clear they are making a serious threat, officials said on Wednesday.
A person who announces “You better look through my suitcase carefully, because there’s a bomb in there”, “I am going to set fire to this airplane with this blowtorch” or “The man in seat 32F has a machine gun” will still be arrested.
But someone who remarks “Your hockey team is going to get bombed (badly beaten) tonight”, “Hi Jack!” or “You don’t need to frisk me, I’m not carrying a weapon” will first be warned about their behavior.
Of course, if you’re dealing with the TSA, you’re liable to be shot if you fart in the wrong direction.
Canada – Timidly Setting the Example For The United States

Conversation while boarding…
…Muhammad said this trip will be a blast. I’m very nervous about it, but he said I wouldn’t feel a thing, it will be over before I know it. The sooner I get on board and get my shoe off, the better. It’s killing me. But I’ll tell ya, if the shoe doesn’t kill me my gas will… and the passengers too. Wheweee, I feel like I’m going to explode…
over 30 years ago, when i left england, as we were going through security at heathrow airport, my mother jokingly said to the security official who was searching the luggage, “you’d better be careful looking in there!” – she was referring to the fact that the bag being searched contained the kids’ socks and underwear.
the security official laughed, while the nice policeman who was armed with a machine gun, looked over her shoulder.
this was 1972, when ira bombers were a real threat. we didnt get arrested.

That gives me the most amazingly funny mental image.
Everyone boards a plane, and then suddenly some one stands up and shouts:
“THERES A BOMB IN MY SUIT CASE, THE MAN IN SEAT 32 F HAS A MACHINEGUN, AND I AM GOING TO SET FIRE TO THIS AIRPLANE WITH THIS BLOWTORCH!!!!”
It would be like getting hijacked by John Cleese
People who aren’t intelligent enough to think that it might not be a good idea to talk about guns, bombs or hijacking while they are going through security prior to boarding an aluminimum tube that is going to be propelled through the air at an altitude of 35,000 ft. should, IMHO, not only be arrested they should not be allowed to reproduce.
#5 – if you’re going to cheer for the Blue Bombers, what do you think you deserve?lol

#9,
As long as it has a picture of Evan Almighty too.
I’ve seen someone get taken for questioning for saying ‘I can’t wait to blow this pop stand’ in reference to leaving crappy New Jersey. The problem with the TSA and all those in authority is the power trip. People who have no power anywhere else feel good when they can boss someone around once in a while.
