This is what happens when young Amish women are given access to modern technology.

Oh shiite, that means traveling with a laptop is going to become even more of a hassle.

Now all White Christian grandmothers will have to surrender their computers at the airport just so that we don’t profile the members of the death cult.

OK, so...um...did the laptop have an actual bomb? Or did the guy just get done fertilizing his garden?

Testing positive is first step in determining if it was a bomb, not final determination that it is. Guy might have paniced. We'll have to wait for the commission report due out in Oct 2002 or so. Meanwhile no more laptops on board?

Not funny... I am a White Christian grandmother and travel for my job. After 911 I was searched each and every time I went to an airport, one time when 3 men dressed in the garb and headdresses waltzed right on by.

I started keeping a log book and pointed that out to the inspectors each and every time. I did buy a dildo at one point and put that in my carryon. HAHAHA It was priceless to see the look on the inspector’s face. I think because enough of us grannies complained, it doesn’t happen anymore. But if it starts up, I’m going to start complaining all over again.

BTW can anyone tell me how many grannies have committed terrorist attacks on planes?

“Amish again!”

Probably fertilized his field with ammonium nitrate just before checking his flight reservations on the laptop.

Hate it when that happens.

My Walkman tested positive for explosives “ nitrates” at Tampa International because I laid it on the grass after it was fertilized by the landscaping crew . The quizzical looks on their faces was worth the price of admission and they swabbed it three times and referred to a book on the readout. They asked me if I worked around chemicals and I told them no. Took me awhile to figure out why it tested positive .

The positive is that the test actually worked.
