If you don’t have the sense of humor of a 12 year old, click out of this post now. 😉
I think the YouTube caption tells you everything you need to know:
My buddy was headed to his bachelor party in New Orleans. It was his first time flying. The thing he was worried about most was airport security…with friends like his he was right to be worried!
“Your water is too large.” Amazing! At least the TSA agent had a good sense of humor, and wasn’t a d*ck about it!
While we’re on this topic, it reminds me of a situation I was in last year at Beijing Airport. I’ve written in the past about Kanamara Matsuri, the annual Japanese fertility festival, which is rather phallic. I know this might sound like some kinky joke, but it’s not. It’s apparently taken quite seriously, and is mainstream.
Anyway, a friend attended the festival, and as a joke he brought me a pen from it. I’m sure you can guess what the pen looked like. I put it in a pouch with my chargers (phone, laptop, camera, etc.). I forgot about it for a while… until I went through security at Beijing Airport.
My bag was pulled to the side for additional screening, and that specific pouch needed to be checked, since presumably the chargers looked strange to them. The security officer opened the case, looked horrified, took out the pen, and held it up as if she was trying to inspect it and figure out what it was. I tried to explain to her what it was, but she spoke no English.
I was rather embarrassed, so I can only imagine how embarrassed this guy must have been.
