WHAT A COMPLETE ASSHAT 
And sometimes we wonder why the FAA imply all these ridiculous rules upon aircraft in US airspace. We should stop exporting asshats like this to the US.
Make a joke once about a bomb in front of a TSA is nuts, but to repeat it two times after is just criminally insane!
Did anyone see that episode of 'Airport' where the guy flying to ORD said he had machine gun in his violin case. He went to JAIL.....for the night before flying on Air India to ORD. That is punishment enough
YOU CAN'T SCREW AROUND WITH THESE PEOPLE (and think they'll laugh with you)

Get the deadwood out of the Universities and cut the crappy useless courses. I say start with Archaeology (
) Then use the money saved to give the Universities better facilities. This means my degree is worth more on the face of it because less people have one. Having visited an American University in September I was embarassed to show Kirstin around Southampton. The Americans are light years ahead, and had I seen US universities when I came round to choosing Universities in 6th form, I'd have been stupid not to consider it!
PS. I know my philosophy of raising fees to increase income is flawed.....but I don't care!

He was also banned for life from UA.

"I'm sure Samantha will accept that it's a silly thing to say but she's the sort of girl who might have thought it would make people laugh."
I cannot believe how mind-numbingly stupid people can be when it must be blantantly obvious to a Blackpool Beach hat wearing donkey this day and age is not the time to make comments like this.
Isn't it amazing when silly Brits do silly things abroad that the Foreign Office is meant to get involved and bail them out. Sometimes people should be made to face up to the stupidity of what they do and be prepared to face the consequences.
(P.S. I quite like Blackpool donkeys,having grown up there. There was an old grey one called Rommell which was particularly popular with the children).

I am sorry that I am not a betting woman. I could have bet you Miami, because we do have some of our most mind-bendingly stupid people flying there. She was possibly drunk as well, as even the stupid are not quite as blatant as that.
"Silly Girl" is such an understatement. I remember years ago at a very prestigious Mayfair hairdresser, an almighty to-do broke out between two of the juniors emerging frm the Staff room over aboy friend. The manager siad "Naughty Girls! Naughty Girls!". I'd have slapped the leg of both of them for making such an exhibiton of themselves in public.
Similarly for this airhead. If she's sent to jail or heavily fined, Tough. I've no sympathy. She only has herslf to thank.

The punishment now may be more harsh. But the principle still applies. When you're in that limbo between countries, you do not risk a thing. They have ultimate power over you, and jokes about what you're carrying will land you in a whole load of trouble.
