Harmless enough.
A kid in Memphis, Tennessee had a bumper sticker of this band, and decided to put it on his bicycle. (pictured below)
Still harmless enough.
Today, however, he took his bicycle with him to the Memphis International Airport and parked it near the passenger drop-off. A pilot spotted the bike while entering the airport, took the bumper sticker at face value, and alerted police, resulting in portions of the airport being evacuated and the K-9 unit being called in to investigate. The kid was taken into custody and his bike, as a precaution, was destroyed.
Ha! I doubt he expected anyone to interpret the bumper sticker as a brazen threat to national security when he applied it. A reminder that airport security isn't ****ing around! Still funny though. Hopefully it was just a dirt bike, and not a tri-bike the kid was shipping to Langkawi for Ironman Malaysia next week... talk about a costly oversight!
This also serves notice to pipe-bombers around the world: if you make the effort to conceal a bomb within the frame of your bicycle, don't advertise that fact... you will get caught!
Snuck in four miles on the treadmill at the gym tonight. Felt like I was working some kinks out of my feet and legs after an indefensible five-day lay-off. Definitely energized to get back into the swing though. The first work-out is always the hardest.
