Apparently, everyone who went to texas posted as soon as they got back. Perhaps to feel better about returning to Maryland, and leaving the greatest state in the union. So, here's mine.
So, you can't say the word "bomb" in an airport. This seems somewhat reasonable to me, in the way that yelling "fire" in a crowded theatre is restricted speech. Saying things that might cause a panic can be restricted. To me, the airport thing seems a bit silly, but whatever. I can accept this mild restriction of my freedoms, and if I couldn't, I would drive. Overall, I'm fine with it.
This, however, leads me to the following question. The day I flew out, two car bombs had been diffused in the UK. Our fear-mongering media, of course, spent a great deal of time trying to scare everyone into continuing watching. Fox news in particular. I know this because, while I was at the airport bar, the TV was tuned to Fox. As the word "bomb" is restricted, can I have Bill O'Riley arrested? Can I have Rupert Murdoch arrested for conspiracy to say "bomb?" Because if so, that would be awesome.

Check it out - I fixed the 1 comments problem when the post opens in the new window.
The original comment said "Welcome back! Hooray!" But then I got more excited about actually solving the problem.
