Florida Professor Arrested for Having a “Suspicious” Bagel on a Plane
A Florida professor was arrested and removed from a plane Monday after his fellow passengers alerted crew members they thought he had a suspicious package in the overhead compartment.

Monday’s incident is another example of other passengers essentially becoming the authority on terrorist activity on planes.

“Suspicious Bagels” would be a good name for a bagel store.
I think it would be a good name for a band.

Pickeled herring in cream sauce would have earned him twelve Glaser rounds to the heart. A bialy is Homeland Severity/TSA A-OK, today. If you see something, say something.
When swine vote, the man with the slop bucket is always elected swineherd no matter how much slaughtering
he does.
