>>A person who announces "You better look through my suitcase carefully, because there's a bomb in there", "I am going to set fire to this airplane with this blowtorch" or "The man in seat 32F has a machine gun" will still be arrested.

>>So, if the guy in seat 32F has a machine gun, you'd best keep it to yourself.

>>This is such rot. If I'm talking golf with somebody and I say, "I'm trying to shoot under 80", I'm going to get a warning? A 'yellow card', so to speak? So the next time, when I say, "Oh, shoot, I forgot my reading glasses" I'm going to get my second 'yellow card' and be thrown out? Imagine trusting our security to these people.
