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.
He's better at sneaking plans for Stars out of Xerox than planes with stars out of Japan.
Last time I traveled I had my toothpaste taken away by TSA. So should I then swear to never fly again?
An adult would have realized the rules are there for public safety, and made other arrangements for transporting the items in question (like, for example, packing them up and shipping them, a service that's available in almost every major airport in the world). But no, he acts like a spoiled child who gets his toys taken away.
And I don't agree their logic was deeply faulty. Shuriken are weapons and weapons are not permitted on planes, even private ones. I don't see that as being unreasonable.
Cause it's not like they forced him to give up his nail clippers, which, btw, also happened to me a few years ago.
Back in the 80's while he was dealing coke, he never had any problems.
All he'd have to do to defeat Stallman claim his doughnuts were closed source and his stupid fat ass would end up starving to death instead of eating them. As an alternative, he could just move the box about 10 feet away from Stallman and he's starve anyway, since he probably couldn't roll over enough times to get to the doughnuts.
No throwing stars needed, its far easier to use Stallman against himself than to put any real effort into it. He is his own worst enemy.

Way to be timely Slashdot - AppleInsider has already reported that the story is bunk.
No. AppleInsider has reported Apple claims the story is bunk. That's very different. Appleinsider makes no claim one way or the other, they're just reporting the company's press release.
It's good to see the Reality Distortion Field is still working.
So, he gets a taste of his own medicine, whats wrong with that?
That it didn't happen, that's what.

That's not a debunking, that's an official denial from Apple. Big shock.
Property is theft.
It is indeed delightfully amusing to hear that the god of Apple has been nannied in exactly the same way his evil monopolistic company does to the rest of us. ha ha! Take that O grey suited old fart.
Facts are history now plebs have politics for religion on social media.
