I suspect the TSA folks might not find it too funny either. After all isn't it a crime to joke about security matters in the screening areas? Of course our over reactive security people here in Canada might even try to charge you with kidnapping for the first sticker. They are not known for a sense of humor, or having good judgment either. Remember these are the morons who x-rayed a baby.

Granted,while the TSA may not think them funny,I got a chuckle. Now,,,,at least the sticker guys were smart enough not to use any 'electronic' devices.

No kidding. I worked for Northern Telecom years ago in California. Our sister division was in Belleville, Ontario. I flew into Toronto for a visit.

When I got to customs I was asked, "Business or pleasure?"

I replied business and was asked what company? I said Northern. The guy stapled a yellow card to my papers and sent me on my way.

I was stopped in a hallway and directed into a large room lined with benches and surrounded by tiny cubicles. The benches had a number of swarthy Middle East types sitting on them.

A lady in one of the tiny cubes motioned me over, took my papers and asked the same questions as the first guy. She then asked, "Why are you here?"

I replied, "Where am I?"

She took a staple remover and removed the yellow card and directed me to a stairway. At the top I found baggage claim. The guy I was traveling with saw me and asked, "Where have you been?"

"I don't know." I replied. (Cue the Twilight Zone music.)
