My first thought on reading this was, "He should've known better than to joke about bombs at the airport."
Then I remembered how much I hate having to be civil when I'm getting groped--how fear of retaliation keeps me from speaking out against it as forcefully as I would like. TSA is attempting to quash my freedom of speech, and that angers me! I am angry on Mr. Friesema's behalf, too. What does it matter if he says the word "bomb" in an airport? As long as he's not bringing a bomb on board, what harm does it do to say that word? There was more harm in the terminal dump than in him saying "bomb." Also, would there have been a terminal dump if he'd suggested his friend's bag had "something illegal" or "a surprise" in it? I want to go to an airport now and just chant "bomb" over and over until it loses its power.
Now yelling "bomb" is a different story.

Due to the insane reactive policy of our security theater actors, they can practically make the skies over America resemble how they were on 9/12/01 - empty.
(My conscience is salved by the fact that if AQ has a brain cell working, they have already considered this strategy).
