James Madison didn't have to worry about idiots blowing up his airplane.
I think you get my point. You don't yell "fire" in a movie theatre. You also don't make inappropriate jokes to TSA agents.
Call it part of the social contract.
So it would be funny to you if a man from say, Pakistan, was in line in front of you going through security and you heard him make the following "joke": "Hi Mr. TSA, my luggage is the bomb, don't you think"?
I don't know how anyone can be so dense ...... the statement said "any inappropriate remarks or jokes may result in your arrest". It was very non-specific, and how, may I ask (since you seem to have all of the answers) is "inappropriate" defined? And who decides what is and is not "appropriate"? And where is the law that says your 1st Amendment right of freedom of speech only applies to what the government deems to be "appropriate" speech ?
Use your head, the one on top.
I'd wager that inappropriate pertains, to you know, bombs, guns, hijackings, etc. I think asking the guy if he liked grabbing your testicles, while perhaps tasteless to some, would not get one arrested. Am I wrong?

That's just it: People who worship antisocial ideals refuse to acknowledge any of the tenets of the social contract. For such people, it's always just all about them. What they want is all that matters in the world, and they viscerally hate anything that they're expected to abide that benefits anyone other than themselves. They've raised self-centeredness and self-serving rationalization to an ethic, in their own minds.

Do you blame the poster? Is it because you think people in authority never overstep?
Making unfunny bomb jokes is not a constitutional right. Some people need more than an annoucement...to understand the obvious.
Have a nice flight.
I love screaming fire in a crowded theater...I love the constitution.
FYI....you can't yell "water" in a crowded movie theater either. It has nothing to do with the constitution....it has to do with following the rules while in a private environment.
As far as the airport announcement, I didn't read where it said "making unfunny bomb jokes will get you arrested.".
It is wide open to the interpretation of these unskilled, perverted morons to decide on what they perceive as "inappropriate".
It sets a dangerous precedent.
BTW....if a republican were president, lefties would be screaming from the rooftops about the "police state".....and rightfully so.

But, of course, obama can do no wrong.
This is, of course, the problem.
Give some AH a little power and watch how they can abuse it.
i also have to disagree with the OP. the time for making jokes about the TSA, and other airline related issues, is not at the airport. do it in a comedy club, at your place of work, unless it is an airport, etc. but airline travel safety is a serious business, and should be treated as such.
Congratulations, you have been completely indoctrinated. I am certain you will make a wonderful government patsy.
