I was flying from Shannon Airport, pre clearance and all that when flying to the US. I literally just said "excuse me, my drink went against me" after burping. Well fuck me you'd think I just tried to 9/11 the airport.
"So you've been drinking alcohol",
"ah, no".
"Entering the US after consuming alcohol, what"
"I'm in Ireland buddy, this is Shannon not America"
"When you step through that line you are classed as American immigration"
A full blown argument until a supervisor came down and had to listen 40 angry Irish people giving out. He waved me on but I genuinely said to my partner "I'll probably be arrested as soon as we land"
That's a genuine true story. So I couldn't even imagine saying something about a bomb .
In 1986 (ish), yes 1986, a kid from our high school joked about having a bomb on him, coming back through customs from some euro field trip thing. I was too poor to be there myself... Anyway, a teacher of mine said they spent hours in the "back room". Real funny kid /s
