The Orange Code of Nuts

I arose this morning to signs of armed snipers on buildings throughout NY, DC, and Newark, and to reports that the airlines this weekend booted two passengers: one for committing the great security flaw of wearing a t-shirt with a bare boob on it (tasteless but not exactly al Qaeda, is it?) and a Japanese man copying words he did not know from a newspaper so he could look them up later. Unfortunately, one of the phrases he copied was "suicide bomb", prompting the boobs at the airlines to state, "People have to realize they can't write the word "bomb" anywhere or they'll find their travel plans derailed."

Oops, I've typed bomb here twice. Better not book a plane ticket.
