But think how safe you would be if you did pack a bomb.
The odds of there being one bomb on a plane are tiny enough, but the odds of there being two bombs on a plane are vanishingly small…
The only way to stop a bad guy with a bomb…
You really need to pack one bomb for each family member really. Kid’s bombs just help lower the odds to virtually zero.
I don’t care about bombs. I’m just thinking about not seeing my friends for 3 months, and that scares me more.

*Don’t say ‘bomb’. Don’t accidentally say ‘bomb’. Don’t say ‘bomb’.
“Hey, I didn’t bring a bomb! DOH!”
you’re fine as long as you’re not using a Galaxy Note 7.
Mine is a knife, reach in to entry pockets at TSA baggage xray, a moment where I’m afraid I’ll pull out a giant knife
I carry a pocket knife everywhere, so this one is a legit concern for me. It is as natural as putting on my clothes for me to put my knife in my pocket, so I’m always concerned that I accidentally put my knife in my pocket, despite being very intentional about leaving it behind. I paid $280 for the thing, so it would be a damned shame to lose it to stupid-ass TSA.
Pack some prepaid package envelopes with your home as the destination. TSA got a problem with your nail clipper? Leave your favorite knife in your pocket by accident? Put it in the envelope and drop it in any USPS box.
That’s a great idea! Do they have mailboxes at the airport?
Depends on the airport, but usually yes.
For me, it’s all the suck brought on by a pathological fear (trauma) of authority figures abusing their power. In this case: TSA, and their ability to completely screw with your travel plans. To be clear, this is not rational and 100% nothing bad happens.
As someone who goes through TSA several times a week. Nah fuck that, some of the smurfs are absolutely there to fuck your day up just because they can. I’d say about 60% of the officers are highly mediocre, about 30% are good, but that last 10% are just malicious.
I cross a land border every day and this also describes CBP
More like “I sure hope I didn’t pack a bottle of water by accident” (or any other liquit in a container of more than 100ml).
There is no need to pack a bomb for a flight. Just buy the parts and ingredients you need to build one in the duty-free shop after the TSA security theater.
Do they sell electrical switches, or lighters back there, or am I supposed to rub two sticks together to ignite it?
You do not need any of this. You should know some chemistry and physics, but you can get everything you need to make a bang.
Are you serious that there are chemical combinations for sell behind the security checkpoint that’ll make a large explosion?
Absolutely. And all the tooling you need is a simple nail clipper. Which you can usually get at the duty free, too.
It’s there, it’s simple, it’s just applied science.
They obviously do not.
I always get concerned that somehow I have packed hard drugs (I don’t do hard drugs.)
For my next trick, I shall pull a condom full of coke out of your ass. I assure you we did not plant it ahead of time.
The easiest way to avoid this is to make sure you always pack a bomb on purpose.
personally, I like to make their day interesting by wearing a shirt that says, “I am the bomb!”
Have you tried a shirt with, “You’re the bomb!” on it?
Not. yet.
“The probability of having a bomb on a plane is very low, and the probability of having two bombs on the same plane is virtually zero.”
I got tired of worrying about whether or not I packed a bomb and would be caught so I decided to just do so and get it over with.
In reality I just grabbed a 2 pound brick of scrapple wrapped it in wires that I soldered to a watch and stuck it in the middle of my backpack.
Got to enjoy my scrapple on the other side and felt far more confident about my future in scrapple smuggling.
That this can and does ever happen to anybody is how you know the TSA is an abject failure of an organization.

Or just be non-white. Then you will know you are going to be selected for a special screening.
Me on my steamdeck at an airport: “okay, this game doesn’t talk about bombs or guns, right?”
I’m sure counter strike would be a decent option
“no russian”
