It’s 2010 and you better watch your fucking mouth because it could land you in some deep feces. Nobody knows this better than 75-year-old Draco Slaughter, who is sitting in jail right now for making an innocent bomb joke on an airplane.

Southwest Airlines Flight 373 had just landed in New York on Sunday evening, and the passengers were exiting the plane when a flight attendant noticed an unaccompanied carry-on bag near the back of the plane. “I said it was mine and kidding I also said that there could be a bomb in there,” Slaughter said, as he recalled the incident.

The flight attendant immediately notified the police, who promptly arrested Slaughter. After an investigation proved the airplane bomb-free, rather than releasing the old man with a slap on the wrist, they charged him with making a false bomb threat.

Draco Slaughter remains jailed in lieu of $50,000 bail until he goes back to court Friday. If convicted, he faces up to seven years (basically the rest of his life) in prison.

If I was Draco Slaughter’s grandson, I would find the flight attendant that reported him and punch her in the mouth. I understand that she was just trying to do the right thing, but use a little intuition for fuck’s sake. My 75-year-old grandpa talks about his visits to the moon all the time, but I haven’t contacted NASA to verify. Old people just say dumb shit.

I’m not saying bomb threats should be ignored on a regular basis, but even if Draco Slaughter really did have a bomb, it wouldn’t be very hard to take it from him. A swift punch to the gut, and he’d probably shit himself and then die.

Flying used to be awesome. Before 9/11, even the pilots would crack a bomb joke occasionally. Now, you get a complimentary cavity search if you even try to board the plane while wearing a t-shirt with the “bomb” printed on it.

So now, certain words and t-shirts are illegal on airplanes. What next, black babies will have to be checked with luggage? It wouldn’t surprise me! This is a sad state of affairs, and I think it’s safe to declare that the terrorists have won because from a civil rights point of view, things have only gotten far worse since 9/11.

The armies should come back home and start dropping bombs on the assholes in America that keep perpetuating this fear of terrorism.
