TSA Agent: No, you can not take that bottle of water on the plane - it could be a bomb.
Put it in this trash can that I stand beside all day.

Was this before or after the one bomb threat at the White House?

Any idiot with a cell phone could shut down this country with a few calls, because of the cowards that are in charge
