So it must be ok then to walk in a school and say you got a gun cuz s*it happens??

Sure he felt race has something to do with it, but oh well. Go to the side, let them search and be on your way. I've been pulled to the side and checked every time I've flown. Don't think it's right but not going to say I got a bomb either

Some people have been dealing with this their whole life. It is not something they can simply back down and just "go with it" I have spent a large amount of time with my brother-in-law lately, whom is muslim, and to hear the comments people make is absolutely ignorant and absurd. Aldon is a bit hot headed and had a slip of the tongue.

It's one thing if he was running around or in the center of a big crowd saying he had a bomb (or gun, knife, weapon, etc...) but as far as we know just one TSA agent said that he indicated he had a bomb in what seems to be a sarcastic tone.

Unless they recorded him saying it there's an obvious lack of evidence to show that he said it.

It doesn't matter what tone you say it in, you simply don't say it in an airport. Take that word completely out of your vocabulary while you're inside the airport. Just don't say it, ever, NOTHING good can come of it.

9/11 was an inside job. Most people know that deep down. Save the sob stories and blame the government for the lies. As far as the TSA is concerned, I'm not sure how many of them actual believe in this whole terrorism myth, but it would nice to remind them I presume.

+1 very simple thing not to say.

Little kids know better than to utter the word "bomb" at an airport. It has way too many negative connotations, you simply don't say it, not sure why a grown ass man had trouble with something so basic and elementary.

I agree it was a dumb thing to say, especially to the person he said it to. I think once more of the facts are out and investigations are done that it will be dropped.

at least he didn't yell out "bomb" like it was initially reported. wouldve caused panic, wouldve been worse. idk if it wouldve been worse for him legally or not but that would have been even stupider

There is lots of evidence to support the theory but that's for another thread.

I don't know what's hard about it but the fact that it's enough to get you arrested and pay a huge fine with possible jail time is absolutely f**ktarded. Really speaks to the nations hysterical paranoia and pussification.

So somebody saying they have a bomb shouldn't be taken seriously?

When it's obvious that they don't? Not necessarily.

Sarcasm or not, you don't say it...it's really not that hard. You're crazy if you think TSA agents are given that kind of latitude, to interpret "tone"...have you seen some of these people? I wouldn't trust some of them to wash my car. If they hear you say "bomb", you will go away in handcuffs.

And that's the problem. If Aldon said he had a bomb, yes it was stupid, but just because you say something stupid doesn't mean you should be arrested or thrown in jail or in the national spotlight.

There's such thing as context...an abundance of empirical evidence proves beyond any doubt that commercial aircraft and airports are indeed prime targets for terrorism. Flying is an anxiety-inducing activity for many people, even before considering the possibility someone just might want to kill every person on your flight. So I'm gonna disagree with you, because if someone is so obtuse, so stupid, so entitled to think they're going to joke about having a bomb at an airport/on a plane, that person absolutely deserves going to jail. The judges, lawyers, and juries can work it out if someone was just being "sarcastic", but I don't want that idiot on my flight.

please don't turn this thread into an argument about 9/11. it was bad enough already

If the charges are not dropped I say we make a statement and cut him.

Someone watched "Loose Change"...probably best to not pay attention to the scores of rebuttals that thoroughly debunked that tripe.

That's not what I said. I was agreeing with the statement that why should everyone have to change the way they live because a few decided to shock the world. Your whole country is stuffed because you want to police everything except those who control the system - politicians & banks.

PS Bombs weren't used in 9/11. You also have a gun problem.
