"did you pack your bag yourself?"
 
So; You turn up at the airport.
They ask that question.

What happens if you say no?

just don't tell them there's a bomb in there, they really don't like that apparently ;)

Dont say what my mate did on our way to Tenerife, "have you left your bags unattended at anytime?"

Only for 2 minutes, but that nice asian man with a backpack kept an eye on them while I went the bogs

Cue the next 5 minutes with him looking like a naughty schoolboy getting a dressing down about airport security :laughat: we sat there praying he'd get the rubber glove treatment

I have some vague recollection that a woman in the was jailed for joking about having a bomb in her luggage.

I had a woman at the check in desk at Manchester airport ask me if I had anything sharp in my suitcase...

I said "Only my clothes", my mate looked mortified, his mum who dropped us off doubled up and the lass on the desk looked like I just told her I had a collection of home made shanks.... AND I got a wing seat for a 10 hour flight.... I'm sure she was the cause of that

they like it less when you get called back to oversized baggage after youve been thru security to ask why you have weapons parts in your bag (in belfast city airport), mmmmm sorry was in a rush worked thankfully

or when you go thru manchester airport and the alarms go mental after they have swiped your laptop for trace, but you didnt think that you'd been on the range all day with it would be important, mmmm could we have a word in the side room please, folloed by 5 min explination ,worked on the 4 nice mp5 wielding men aiming at me at the time

but surely everyone has encountered such silly oversights
i mean come on, its not like you come across many 6 foot, irish accented ,shifty looking ,type terrorists do you
