I really don't find this last remark to be funny or cute. Many passengers could have been severely injured or killed if Richard Reid had succeeded in igniting the explosives which were concealed in his shoes.
No matter how anyone is treated by an airline, they have no right whatsoever to justify acts of terrorism as the result of said treatment.

It was not meant to be funny or cute. It was not related to AA service either. What I meant was the way their security treated me. Very two faced, if I showed my foreign passport, I was told I was a risk and searched. If I showed my local Florida drivers License I was let through without a second look. That is what I meant by it is no surprise. If this is the way they profile, it is no wonder Richard Reid was able to get onboard with what he did. AA obviously did not have their security up to scratch at that point.
I resent the fact that you think I would make such an accusation because of service. I would never wish something of that nature. I have no idea how you misconstrued that comment into the twisted thing you said.

Keep making these remarks and joking about explosives and you will find yourself permanently banned from flying by most of the world's airlines. Incarceration may be a further unexpected result.

Notice I said "my roommates" back in the US, not me! It was just a harmless description of how it looks.
Get a life man! I suggest you read more carefully as I never said anything of this to the crew. In fact I work for an airline and am very aware of how passengers should behave. Its people like you who blow things out of proportion and go looking for a fight. You keep many of us from enjoying things such as harmless trip reports. I suggest you grow up and stop picking fights with people over nothing.
