Have you seen Prince's controversial new video "Cinnamon Girl"? (You can view it at AOL's website.) It depicts someone doing exactly that.

BTW, Prince isn't advocating blowing up airports. The video is about an Arab-American girl facing harassment after 9/11. The "suicide bomber" portion that has upset some folks is a fantasy/dream of hers.

Another interesting part about the airport segment is that she keeps getting stopped at the airport and asked for ID... and each time, she presents a U.S. passport.
