Steve Jobs Tries To Sneak Shurikens On a Plane
An anonymous reader writes "Steve Jobs, while on a family vacation to Japan in July, picked himself up some Shuriken, otherwise known as Ninja throwing stars, as a souvenir. In his wisdom he decided to put them in his carry on luggage for the return journey. As it was a private plane he probably thought there would be no issue, but he was wrong. Even private plane passengers have to have all their baggage scanned, and the throwing stars were detected and deemed a hazard. It's alleged that Jobs argued that he could take them on the plane as no one could steal them on his private jet and use them. Security at the airport disagreed and demanded he remove the stars. Jobs, clearly angry at losing his throwing weapons, stated he would not be returning to the country." Undoubtedly this is part of the iNinja project.
Now if we could only get him to leave the US this way...
Seriously, they took your toys away so you'll never return to Japan. Boo hoo, like I'm sure they give a shit. Seriously, will this jackass ever grow up?
"because its his own fucking plane and quite honestly he should be able to do whatever he wants to" ...In public airspace? Over public property?
So...all the terrorists need to do is purchase their own jets?
Did you actually bother to think that through at all before posting your emotional knee-jerk?
Heck, he could have found an apple fan-boy in line in the terminal who would have checked them and mailed them to him from the USA for the chance to suck his dick.
FTFY.
