Glad I caught it yesterday. It was pulled from the site and today it says: "This video has been removed at the request of copyright owner NBC Universal because its content was used without permission."

Strange that other SNL videos haven't been removed....

And NBC probably did it at TSA's behest.

Wouldn't surprise me at all if the TSA made a threat of their own.

Wow that was wierd, up until an hour ago it was working fine. I highly doubt that it's NBC's doing.

If I remember correctly, NBC Universal owns a substantial stake in YouTube - so that could be part of it.

Hillarious!
 
I had a front row seat to last weekend's SNL, and I gotta say, this was absolutely one of the funniest skits, at least for an aviation freak like me! :D

For anyone interested, this episode of SNL will be re-airing tonight, since there is no live SNL! Dane Cook/Killers host. ^

I just saw the skit on KNBC. That was probably the first time I laughed at SNL in over 20 years. :D

Favorite quote "Thank God for FEMA". That and the part about the FBI determining that you couldn't blow up an airplane with only 3 oz of liquids.

Slightly off topic, but Jon Stewart also lampooned the TSA before when he hosted the Grammys in 2002. Check it out: http://youtube.com/watch?v=GC5NBGx00H4

"What if a passenger can produce more than 3 ounces of, you know, liquid after they pass through security - or gel"

"STOP!"

:D :D

Seen how thick the concrete is at a nuc? You'd chip the concrete and kill yourself. Also, you're not going to carry very much weight in the cub. Reliable detonation on impact might be a challenge, too. Bottom line, not a realistic threat and even the TSA knows it.
