Just should have put them in cargo bay bags. Too bad if true, that he tossed them. Totally cool weapon requiring copious amounts of skill. 
I realize I sound like an apple fanboy now, but.. I WANT ONE OF THOSE! Start manufacturing them asap pls
LOL are you seriuos? These example doesn't fit. You know what you're buying, nobody forcing you to do anything. o you want a completely free mobile device? No app moderation? Enjoy your patethic andriod store and experience the chaos! You are free, don't try to sound as poor slave forced to do something.
I agree with Jobs. That IS insane. If I wanted to bring an M16 and 10,000 rounds of ammo onto my private jet, who the hell are the Japanese or anyone for that matter to say that I can't. It's my freakin' plane. I could run it into the ground and that'll do a lot more damage than any ninja throwing stars might.
This is just an example of people trying to feel important. They want to impose their power upon a powerful person just because they can.
Steve should try Canada. Guaranteed after 10 minutes of talking to Canada Customs & Immigration he'd vow never to return.

Or people could, you know, lighten up and have a bit of fun with an amusing story that is getting considerable attention today just because it's a bit wacky.
Life doesn't have to be so serious, folks...
The airport you are walking through after security is not. This airport did not have aseperate section for private planes so after security most likely was the rest of the general public waiting to board their planes.
So how does security know he wont pull them out of his bag after security and kill people (we konow he wouldnt but security does not know that).
Is this for real? Is today April 1? Ninja stars?
He's sure is playing to his "nerd" base. I guess he was in Japan for a D & D training session, and perhaps hit the Tokyo Star Trek Convention on the way home.

you don't get it.
you can't bring weapons into a airport beyond the security barrier. period.
And this is why reading the entire article is important.
Kansai Airport does not have separate boarding arrangements for private jet owners. Which means that anyone flying a private jet has to board via the same terminal that commercial passengers do. So private jet passengers must go through security and are subject from the same security rules. What's going to stop a terrorist who rented a private jet from bringing a gun or knife past security (after all, it's his private jet) but then giving it to another terrorist buddy flying commercial past the security check?
Muttered beneath his breath as he reaches into his bag for freshly-honed MacRumors-branded throwing stars...
A 1024x1024 version would make a great iPad screen.
Sorry, did it in less than 5 mins.
Not really pro quality!
