More stupid security, this time from Australia. Flight attendent finds air-sickness bag with the letters "BOB" written on it. In a dizzying feat of delusion, she imagines that "BOB" stands for "Bomb on Board," and convinces the captain to turn the plane around and make an emergency landing. I try to draw some actual lessons from this bit of stupidity.

Nah, it can't be J.R. "Bob" Dobbs, that's always accompanied by a picture. Although an air-sickness bag is certainly an appropriate venue for a Dobbsian sticker...

Hmmm. Lessee.

She could also have conjectured...

Baby On Board ("Ooh, this is the yucky side of the holy state of pregnancy! Got a Baby on Board? Gonna need the air-sick bag....")

Bora Bora (airport code) ("Oh, if only we weren't bound for LA, but could go to bucolic Bora Bora instead. I'm just sick about it.")

Best of Breed ("Damn. All the way to Sydney and some other bitch gets the blue ribbon. It's enough to make you wanna barf.")
