    If he's been confessing for that long, you'd think they'd have stopped him before!

    Being molested, xrayed, shown naked on a screen, and robbed is a small price to pay to keep terrorists from taking away my freedom!

    I was going to subscribe to your newsletter, but then I thought about how many dead uppity stewardesses would result from armed passengers, and then I really wanted to subscribe to your newsletter.

    Actually, if you really want it to get there, buy a starter pistol and pack it in the suitcase.

    Don't try to commit suicide with it, though. It'll get you detention.
