1. Update: No explosion, probably deordorant

So, you can't carry deodorant on to the plane, and it may do this if it is packed, so....?

Authorities have given the "all clear" after investigating this afternooon a suspicious piece of luggage coming off an international flight at George Bush Intercontinental Airport. Despite initial reports of an explosion, one did not occur, said Houston Airport System spokeswoman Marlene McClinton.

Authorities had initially received a small aircraft emergency call around 2:15 p.m. for a bag on the tarmac near terminal D of the airport. An employee reported a small explosion and saw a mist expel from the bag, McClinton said. A hazardous materials team was dispatched to examine the bag, where crews determined it was not a danger.

The substance was most likely a personal care item, such as deodorant, that broke when it impacted with the ground, McClinton said.

"It was not an explosion," McClinton said. "When they were unloading the bag, they heard a pop when it landed on the ground … but it was a non event."

There were no reports of a fire, damage to property or injuries, according to authorities. "There (were) no disruptions to operations," McClinton said. "People on the plane continued as normal."

17. Or because it's time to actually invade Pakistan

and they've instructed to get the public on board.

What I can't figure out is all the talk about this guy's ties to the Taliban - I thought we were over there to fight Al Qaeda - wasn't that the justification for invading Afghanistan?

10. "A" dildo.

Narrator: My suitcase was vibrating?

Airport Security Officer: Nine times out of ten it's an electric razor, but . . . every once in a while . . . it's a dildo. Of course, it's company policy never to imply ownership. In the even of a dildo, we have to use the indefinite article "a" dildo, never "your" dildo.
