You can't take me anywhere...

*Ari and his dad pass a sign at the airport security checkpoint. The sign features pictures of scissors, a pocketknife, a screwdriver, a cartoonesque bomb, and a pistol, all with slashes through them.

Me: Does this mean I can't bring my scissors, pocketknife or ordinance along with me?

Dad: Ari, don't make me hurt you...

Me: Oh, come on, security won't even notice me unless I start singing "Who put the bomb in the bomb shoo bomb shoo bomb."

Dad: (glaring) Ari, you sang that the last time we went to Chicago...

Me: I know, I know, I should really be aiming for a higher caliber of humor...

hee hee hee.

(In other news, I'm typing this by the gate to my plane, and I just realized that my bandage scissors made it through security in my carry-on...)

oh my God, Ari. I read this and burst out screaming with laughter. :)

I'll bet they didn't notice the bandage scissors because they've got a rounded tip, and they're only looking for sharp pointy things...

You can bring as many ordinances on the plane as you want. Heck, bring a whole book of 'em. You just can't bring ordnance.

You're welcome.

Not to scare you (something tells me it won't, heh) but you wouldn't believe how many people I saw get arrested, even before 9/11, for making jokes like that. Like, really arrested. I even had to call the cops on someone myself, because we never knew when we were being tested by an undercover "fake" passenger.

As they should, as far as I'm concerned. I understand getting more strict about knives, but itty bitty scissors? That's going a little too far. Man, I so don't miss that crap.

These scissors aren't what you could call itty bitty, really. They're what EMTs use to cut clothing off of accident victims.

They've got plastic handles, and a bit of plastic on the tip, so that might be it.
