Golden Girls star Bea Arthur sparked a security scare at Boston's Logan Airport earlier this week when she tried to board a flight with a pocketknife in her handbag.
The actress, 81, was about to board a Cape Air flight when a Transportation Security Administration agent discovered the offensive article in her belongings, which are strictly forbidden on airplanes since the September 11 attacks.
A fellow passenger says, 'She started yelling that it wasn't hers and said that 'The terrorists put it there!' She kept yelling about 'terrorists, terrorists, the terrorists.'
After the knife was confiscated by TSA officials, the funnywoman pulled out a key ring from her bag and told the agent that it belonged 'to the terrorists,' before throwing it at them.
As she boarded the plane, the Emmy award winning star told TSA employees, 'We're all doomed.'
A spokeswoman for Cape Air says, 'Miss Arthur was cracking jokes and being a real character.'

Sounds like an obnoxious old liberal hag expecting star treatment and not getting it!

Bea Arthur is a terrorist scare in and of herself.

Wow! I really thought that she had passed away about a year ago due to cancer.

I'd imagine she causes "scares" wherever she goes.

"A spokeswoman for Cape Air says, 'Miss Arthur was cracking jokes and being a real character.'" I don't care who you are; that joke wasn't funny at all.

LMAO! We may need a heavy duty barf alert there..

What she really meant was "Those rules are for the little people, not celebrities"

I thought anyone making "terrorist" jokes would be immediately arrested and jailed.
This must be the new sensitive war on terror.

If anything could throw a scare into terrorists, it would be this:
Oh, is that not what it meant?
I can see why Bea is into animal rights....she's a dog!

For a moment there I thought she had caused a scare by showing up nude.

Well, given how some freepers have complained about airport searches, this might be a typical (but stupid) reaction. However, the difference between Bea Arthur and me is if I said these things in an airport, I'd be dragged away in a pair of very shiny handcuffs to the nearest jail & charged with a federal crime of some sort. She got on her plane & left.
