An announcement over the intercom at work*, yesterday:

"Tommy Hilfiger, you've left your sweatshirt in baggage claim."

And of course everyone remembers the classic announcement by Bunny:

"A baby's bottle has been found at the security checkpoint.  If you're a baby and you don't have your bottle, please return."

*(the airport for those few of you who don't know me so well)

Haha, that's great. Are you even allowed make jokes in airports anymore? They're very serious places these days.

Ohohoh, Tommy Hilfiger...

You're not allowed to make jokes about the possibility of having anything dangerous. Some poor kid, yesterday, asked if his gel pen was okay to go through the checkpoint, and then said, "But what if it's an exploding pen?" The cop who was available came over (and the one who happened to be there was the short, cute little woman, and she's very polite but not about to back off on anything) and, after explaining that we can't have THAT kind of joking, she had us (I wasn't personally there) check out all his stuff very thoroughly.

But in things which aren't of that context it's okay, and of course the people who run baggage are the arilines - they can do whatever they want. :) Bunny is my co-worker, but she's ALWAYS done whatever she wanted, she's like that.

Hee! Yeah - I just report them. ;)
