Metafilter’s Stevil has posted an hilarious mashup of my angry note to American Airlines and the new Samuel Jackson movie, “Snakes on a Plane”:
On Sunday, January 9th, I flew AA51 from London Gatwick to Dallas-Fort Worth. At Gatwick, I was confronted with a security check that exceeded sense and decency and, I feel, creates a terrible potential liability for your airline.
At Gatwick, I was directed to a security podium before I checking in for my flight. The security officer asked me a series of questions, such as:
* Where are you flying?
* How long have you owned your luggage for?
* Are there any motherfucking snakes in your luggage?
The security officer then handed me a blank piece of paper and said, “Please write down the names and addresses of ever motherfucking snake you’re staying with in the USA.”
(Thanks, Erik!)
