I've brought ice cream through security before.

The friendly CATSA agent said cheekily "It's okay, it's not a liquid; yet."

Big difference, you are dealing with CATSA and not TSA.

Heard in a car circling a DFW parking lot:

DW: "Dad, we're going to miss the plane, just drop us off at the terminal."
FIL: "Don't worry, they'll hold the plane. They know there are no parking spaces."

(DW won out)

While sitting in my exit row seat settling in for a red eye SEA-ORD, two boisterous and drunken clods came barreling down the aisle. The first coherent words out of the larger's mouth, "I thought getting loaded was supposed to make us sleepy."

They proceed to sit directly across from me in B and C then continue to be talkative drunks. The booze didn't make them sleepy but it sure made them oblivious.

Were those guys tanking up in first before realizing they were supposed to be in coach?

I think they used up the last of their per diem in the terminal. People laughed at the comment, but nobody was laughing an hour into the flight.

Not sure if it is this thread, but now I have been listening for dumb comments and heard this one yesterday from the middle aged couple behind me during turbulence:

Her: "Why does it get bumpy? I mean, what is it?"
Him: "It happens when the pilot lets go of the steering wheel"

I sure hope those people have a care-giver.

happened to (around) me once!

Woman (lets not mention the race here, although it's very stereotypical): I aint showing them ..... They should know who I am, they are not gonna get to look at my drivers lisence!
Random travel man: Almost broke out laughing, but managed to hold it back at the last minute!
Woman: Are you laughing at me sir? What's your problem?
Man: Quitely pointing at the sign that said valid ID..etc
Woman: Are you trying to be a smartass? You think I dont know? They aint seeing my god damn ID.
Man: Suit yourself, I can't wait to see what will happen next.
Woman: Start getting upset and just about to lauch into a tirade.
Man: Point at the sign again, and said "I can't help you if you can't even get your ABCs right." Then swiftly darted into the TSA check.
Woman: Start screaming "I will sue your ... for making fun of me like that, once I get over this check point, I am gonna hurt you!"
TSA: Mamm, please step aside, you are posing danger to other passengers, we can't let you through. Can I see some ID please...

By that time, I past my check and was laughing (audibally) as many other passengers. Oh man, her look was murderous!
