So last week i was flying in the US for the first time since sept 11th, and the security was of course much better now, anyhow what struck me was that, along many things, such as guns, explosives, nailcutters, now are also Jokes are prohobited in security!!!
Big sign with "Jokes Prohobited"... guess most american ppl here have already seen it but still thought i should share it... cause I found that pretty hillarious...
so are jokes really a threat to national security or not?

Jokes prior to 9/11 were never allowed. It kind of goes along with making jokes to a cop about what's his favorite donut.

You've never been able to say/joke that you have a bomb in an airport or on a plane (in the UK at least) to do so is an arrestable offence no question asked! However, it is funny if they have a sign saying no jokes!
