Think. Belligerent behavior, inappropriate jokes and threats will not be tolerated. Such incidents will result in delays and possibly missing your flight. Local law enforcement may be called as necessary.

I was checking luggage to be checked for this elderly couple anyway I was opening one of the bags and it was one that was just jammed packed full of stuff. Anyway the old guy says "Don't worry there isn't anything in there thats going to explode." Well right after he said it his eyes just got really wide and started to apologize and I told him not to worry about it I knew he was just joking. I just hate to think if it was another screener that would have taken that comment as threat. I work with a couple that probably would. I don't think you have to take every comment at face value.
