And they can get you killed in Stalin's Russia, Mao's China, and Hitler's Germany. They took that stuff very seriously.

At :41 it seems like he spells his own name wrong. "Aldon Smith, L-A-D"

I'm so disgusted with Aldon. . . . .

Tell any family members who lost a loved one on 9/11 that you were just joking when you say you have a bomb in an airport. It should be taken seriously whether he was joking or not. It's not something you joke about. He Crossed the line and honestly deserves what he gets. The kid needs to grow up.

Disagree.

3,000 people died in a controversial horrific event 13 years ago and we have to watch what we say? Am I the only one that thinks we shouldn't have to change the way we live because that happened? Between 6 and 9 MILLION Jews died in the Holocaust and we are free to make holocaust jokes (not that anyone should) without getting arrested.

Aldon didn't threaten anyone. He didn't cause mass hysteria, and as far as we know there are only exactly 2 people who know the facts.

So somebody saying they have a bomb shouldn't be taken seriously?

When it's obvious that they don't? Not necessarily.

It's one thing if he was running around or in the center of a big crowd saying he had a bomb (or gun, knife, weapon, etc...) but as far as we know just one TSA agent said that he indicated he had a bomb in what seems to be a sarcastic tone.

Unless they recorded him saying it there's an obvious lack of evidence to show that he said it.

After watching the TMZ video, it looks as though maybe he was taken aside at airport security and then cornered by a large group of officers. It doesn't look as though he really did anything wrong. Am I missing something?

Sarcasm or not, you don't say it...it's really not that hard. You're crazy if you think TSA agents are given that kind of latitude, to interpret "tone"...have you seen some of these people? I wouldn't trust some of them to wash my car. If they hear you say "bomb", you will go away in handcuffs.
