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.
Check out the new hit movie, Shurikens on a Plane!
He needs the shuriken for his upcoming bout with Richard Stallman, who's ninja skills are well-known.

Jobs, clearly angry at losing his throwing weapons, stated he would not be returning to the country.
And then he threw a Shuriken at the press, just to make the point clear . . .
Jobs with shiriken; Balmer with chairs . . . who wins . . .?

Sorry Jobs, but it appears that you are not on the list of the elite. It sucks doesn't it?

Steve Ballmer was recently forbidden from trying to sneak chairs onto a plane.
I'm just not sure how I feel about hipsters whipping these out on subway trains the way they do those other cool-affirming gadgets.
There's an app for that.
If libertarians are so opposed to effective government, why don't they all move to Somalia?
Hey, it's Steve Jobs and this is /.
Someone will post that bringing shurikens onto a plane is a brilliant innovation of the plane user experience, and someone else will post complaining that airport security is a walled garden.
While they were paying attention to the throwing stars in his backpack, he stole the electronics industry of Japan and sold it to China.

You forgot the guy who will claim that GNU/Star is better because it is open source.

Obviously these are prototype case designs for the iPhone 5. Grip it the wrong way and you lose a finger.

All I have on my maps are the US and outside of that "Here be Dragons".
Degaussing scares the bad magnetism out of the monitor and fills it with good karma.
This is no doubt really going to disappoint all the pirates out there, who were hoping that Jobs was secretly a ninja. Sorry mateys.

Where can we download the Shuriken app? And how do they recommend holding it to ensure proper operation?
Have gnu, will travel.
Next up: Steve Jobs arrested on charges of indecency after being found naked in his bedroom.
"Its not because he's rich, its because its his own fucking plane"
So it's because he's rich.
We know where leadership by an anti-intellectual "strongman" who scapegoats minorities and likes boisterous rallies goes
he was holding them wrong
Surely the Narita airport has video surveillance
I'm guessing they do...and don't call me Shirley.
(That quote is totally on topic for this thread.)
Depends. I believe people have been arrested for being drunk in a parked car on private property.
True fact. When it happened to me it was on my ex-girlfriend's private property, in her father's car. Also I was naked and singing "my heart will go on".

No no. Ninjas vs Samurai. You musta missed the part where Ellison was getting armor as well. And we know that Steve's black turtle neck is actually part of his ninja uniform.
insert funny sig here
Agreed. Regular ninjas don't scare me, but could you imagine an army of ninjas wearing black turtlenecks? Frightening indeed.
