It was shortly after 9/11 and his joke was overheard by a fellow passenger waiting in line. She was “concerned” and reported him to security.

Ahh, the good ‘ol “concerned” (paranoid) citizen. I guess her actions speak more about her than it does about your friend, though.

Hopefully your friend was not required to submit to a body cavity search.

A former coworker of mine was detained at an airport once simply for joking to his friend that his new beard made him look like a terrorist.

????!!

Yelling “Fire” in a theater is one thing, but he got detained for that? Please tell me the airport he was in was not in America.

I was curious as to the reactions of other people at the airport. I mean, did everyone look at each other in shocked amazement as I would have?

I probably should not laugh because I’d be stereotyping all people named Jethro (and all that implies) – but I don’t care because it is hilarious.

Of course, I know you won’t because only in America could something like that happen … well maybe also in China, Iran and North Korea too.

Does anyone but me see the comic irony in this poor fools name–Jethro?

that is seriously fucked, guy should have been fired before he finished his spiel. That is not an acceptable “joke”.

He shouldn’t have just been fired. He should have been arrested or at least detained. How can you make threatening statements over the PA system at an airport and not bring the law down on you?
