Steve's right. In this post 911 world, this isn't funny anymore. Just one of many examples:
"Man arrested at jetport after grenade joke
By David Hench, Portland Press Herald Staff Writer
A 76-year-old New York man who joked about having hand grenades on his luggage at the Portland Jetport was arrested on charges of terrorizing.
Richard Frey was checking in at the Jet Blue counter at 5:40 p.m. Monday when he told the ticket agent that he had two hand grenades in his checked baggage, police said. The agent called police who searched the bag but found nothing. The man told police the comment was intended to be funny.
Police charged Frey with terrorizing and he was taken to the Cumberland County Jail, missing his flight. He was released at 10 p.m. after posting $1,000 bail, police said."
