16. US Airports have zero tolerance for those types of jokes too

Several years ago, just before 9/11 as a matter of fact, one of my cousins and his wife were in the Virginia Beach Airport about to get on a plane for Seattle and a family reunion. There were a lot of people waiting to go through the scanners and his wife made some sort of joke about all the people a bomb explosion would take out. It was overheard by a security guard and they were summarily pulled out of line, taken to a back office and "talked to". They missed their flight of course, were told that they were banned from the airport for some length of time (I don't recall if it was a week or a month - not long, just annoying) and had to rebook via another airport in the area for their flight. She said later at the reunion that she had learned her lesson and would not speak again while standing in line at an airport.
