"There's stupid, and there there's real stupid."

And then there's stupidity of literally Biblical proportion.

The phrase, "straining at gnats while swallowing a camel" springs to mind.

You'll recall that the gentleman in question did NOT indescriminantly shout out the word 'Bomb' inthe airport, as is implied by your reference to shouting "Fire" in a theatre.

Actually I told you to go down to the airport and talk about bombs. If you didn't have an airport nearby go to a theatre and yell fire.

Again it would be plain stupid to talk about bombs, hijackings, biological warfare etc. to an airport security officer right now. Stupid Dumb asking for trouble.

It aint going to make you any safer, especially given that they are X-raying bags with shotguns in them and not catching it, but it is still stupid.
