NODE e36d8b66[NOISE] Airport legal question Lucky Green <shamrock@netcom.com>Wed, 21 Aug 1996 13:34:22 +0800

I know that it is a violation of federal law to joke about explosives at 
the X-ray machine. Would an "I love Explosives" sticker on carry-on 
luggage violate any laws?

TIA,

No. You'd be released. Eventually. After your flight had departed, perhaps?

Yes.

The laws are intended to prevent any behavior which may reasonably create
apprehension that a threat to a commercial airline exists.

You're in for trouble if you put that sticker on your luggage.

I'll quote the language if there is enough interest.
