Earlier, from SFO to CDG, once more going through security (so called) at SFO, as all the convicts..err... PAX were going through the motions of undressing, hauling the plastic containers, following the line, going into zen mode to deal with it, then a young 'security' person came marching through the throng holding aloft a plastic container of peanut butter (did not catch the brand or whether it was creamy or chunky (ha).."Anyone who has peanut butter in their luggage, take it out now, we just confiscated this peanut butter from a passenger" he said with a flourish and show of power.
I am not making this up. So...someone can what, smear an FA with peanut butter and hold up a plane? Has no-one in Paris heard that there is maybe a swine flu pandemic? Or discussed some kind of health considerations.
Yikes...this is nuts (peanuts).
Yeah, we know, they're an embarassment to professional clowns everywhere. But, the TSA has access to SSI that terrorists typically attack in mutliples simultaneously, so obviously if one has tried a peanut butter gambit, there's most likely more peanut butter pirates in line behind the original. And when sternly warned like this by someone with a very official looking tin badge, they're certain to slink back to their domestic terror cells, to try again on another day.
(Thoughts of peanut butter stashed in shoes, or even worse, in snow globes abound.)
