#1 20-30 something male, boarded in Nigeria, locked himself in the head for an hour. Crew and passengers kicked the door in and he got a little testy at that point.

Breaking, have a little salt handy...

#2 The System Is Working. Pretty soon we'll have all the shaky jihadi Nigerian guys in jail here, at least, the unsuccessful ones. When will Janet resign?

#6 What's his first name, Uri, Christian, or Mohammed?

I'll believe he was no threat when we get the (correct) answer to that question.

#7 "The President was notified shortly after 9:00 a.m. Hawaiian...... "The President stressed the importance of maintaining heightened security measures...

#8 FA: Sorry, sir, you can not use the bathroom.

Pass: Look, I have the Hershey squirts, you better let me use that bathroom or the entire cabin is going to be sorry.

FA: I'm sorry sir, you are not allowed out of your seat.

...

I would get unruly, too.

#9 Actually he was teeing off on the third hole when his Secret Service agent got the call. He finished the course at 15 over par.

#10 I'm a bit surprised the Admin hasn't tried to blame these on Bush yet. I guess they are waiting for the right meme.

#12 If nothing else, I bet Al Qaeda is testing the effectiveness of explosive diarrhea on these flights...
