Those of us who travel at all know that there is one word that is not okay to even joke about in an airport. I remember flying with my family a few years ago when they were all enamored with this Harry Potter themed Youtube video
and I was terrified that they would (of course at the worst possible moment) bust out with the punchline of the video (“I found the source of the ticking – it’s a pipe bomb!”)
According to ESPN, on Sunday, Green Bay Packers player Trevor Davis found that out the hard way
According to LAX police public information officer Rob Pedregon:
“Yesterday, Trevor Davis checked in at the Hawaiian Airlines ticket counter and was asked the usual questions about whether he was carrying any aerosol cans, knives, weapons or explosives,” Pedregon said. “Davis turned to his female companion and asked if she remembered to pack the explosives. He was then taken into custody and booked.”
The Packers released a statement that said that they were aware of the incident and had no further comment.

Not sure which is the most stupid.
a) Passenger that said “explosives”
or
b) Being arrested and booked even when he told police it was just a joke
Being pulled aside for screening/questioning is one thing, but come on…
Fact is that is it a crime. Been on the law books for a long time. Many have been arrested. No joke.
You can’t teach that kind of stupid.
