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

Thumbs up 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!

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.

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!"

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.
