Be careful what you say at an airport!

From The Guardian

Director Mike Figgis spent longer at LAX airport than intended. He'd arrived in Los Angeles, along with half the acting and directing world, for what is known as 'pilot season', when the big studios try out new scripts, directors and actors in a two-week frenzy of auditions and career make-or-breaks. When Figgis was being grilled by airport immigration, he was asked the purpose of his visit. Unthinking and tired after a long flight, Mike replied: 'I'm here to shoot a pilot.' After five hours in an interrogation cell (yes, really), he finally made it into town.

Just goes to show what a simple misunderstanding can lead to.

My friends elderly father flew down from scotland and when he was going back he made a comment of ' I don't have a bomb in my bag you know!' at which point he was slept away along with he rest of the family for a lenghty chat!

They were all mega embarrased and he has learnt his leason big time
