Oct 2 2008Bad Idea: X-Ray Messages For Your Luggage
Evan Roth designed these custom etched metal plates to show up on X-ray machines when your luggage is scanned at the airport. And let me tell you, airport security loooooves a good joke. Like the time I drank a half liter of bourbon waiting for my flight out of Vegas and fell asleep under a chair and missed my flight by four hours. Oh man, they loved that one.
Metal Plate X-Ray Messages - Because Airport Security Officers Have A Great Sense Of Humor [ohgizmo]
Thanks to Heather, who loves being drunk in the airport as much as I do.

He stole my idea!
Which I never actually acted upon.
I was going to write on a poster board with metallic paint.
Okay, so his idea probably works better than mine ever would have...

Nope, won't raise suspicions at all. Not a chance.

Where's the one that looks like a gun (AK-47, series of handguns), or maybe a dildo, severed head or something... That's a true good idea... cuz i mean, admit it, if you have something like this in your luggage "nothing to see here", they're going to be forced to search you anyways, so might as well give them a reason for it and laugh afterwards when they find nothing...

How about -
These aren't the terrorists you're looking for

That's a complete Photoshop job. You can tell because the shadows are all wrong.

@9 = YOU'RE a fake! Look at your shading! And the amature use of pixel smudging? What a crappy job. There's no way your nose is actually that big while your tits are that small. No. Way.
FAKE!!!!

Perhaps one that looks like an error message to make them think their x-ray is fuck't.
15. poop (muthafuckas!) - October 2, 2008 5:25 PM
you can all suck my dick. i love it. ...no seriously, you can all suck my dick, at the same time. that'd be fuckin' GREAT!
16. Elmo - October 2, 2008 5:29 PM

If I ever planned on going to an airport an on a plane, I will definitely use one of these.
21. YAY! - October 2, 2008 10:27 PM

23. Hmmm - October 2, 2008 10:49 PM
How about
"I wanna do you?"
Then you look at the security person with love in your eyes.

lol i don't think they'd be amused. I do a lot of traveling but try to avoid pissing them off, or have my bag ravaged through! I obviously wouldn't try something like that, but i would LOVE to see somebody else with that. ha.haa..
