Now that would be hysterical.... Racist, morally wrong, possibly dangerous, and certainly irresponsible... nonetheless, funny as hell.
hahahahahahahaha
people sometimes do stupid things in airplanes/airports
there was this one kid who tried to bring one of those fake grenades (that looks just like a real one, not just a dollar store thing) into his carry on.
this airport was also used for Search And Rescue and sometimes had F-18's
they shut down the whole airport for i think 4 hours

Think ahead, you gotta download it to your hard drive before takeoff.i'm pretty sure that you can't get an internet connection at 30 000 feet
Just the thought of doing that scares the hell of me. Lately I have developed a real fear of being arrested in the US and sent to Guantanamo where they will torture-interrogate me.
... on another note, does anyone know what the Arabic text means?

Probably "This is a joke" or something.
Or possibly, "When the Timer reaches zero, Chuck Norris will roundhouse kick you."
Well I guess we'll all be seeing you on the 11pm news...wear one of those MR shirts...free advertising.

Yeah, a lady in front of me in line once tried to carry on 4 butcher-knives. She didn't believe the screening-guy when he told her this so he had to swivel the whole monitor around to show her.
It was one of those "WTF did you THINK was going to happen?" moments.
That web site is wickedly funny, but I have a feeling that if you called it up while on board a plane, you'd at best end up in Gitmo, and at worst find yourself transported to Uzbekistan for an all-expense-paid waterboarding vacation.
That would be awsome! But unfortunately it probably is some random arabic text that was poorly copied from a pic off of the internet, so it probably says something like Danger High Voltage
no, it was here in canada, in comox, which is close to victoria.
It probably wasn't on the news or anything.
If LAX got shut down temporarily for something like that...
wow, so much traffic... has to land somewhere....
but still, temporarily shutting down an airport where the Search And Rescue crews work out of is bad
It would only work if you got someone to look at it. It would be better to have a button on the page that says click me, leave the thing unattended (go to the bathroom) and see if your neighbor plays with your computer. Its just a flash file, so you don't even need to have the internet, just download it.
All that aside, its in quite poor taste though - and probably a felony if you got caught - so you could laugh all the way to jail.....
