Old People + Terrorism Threat = Hilarity!

Golden Girl Causes Terrorist Scare in Boston

Golden Girls star Bea Arthur sparked a security scare at Boston's
Logan International Airport earlier this week when she tried to board
a flight with a pocketknife in her handbag. The actress, 81, was
about to board a Cape Air flight when a Transportation Security
Administration (TSA) agent discovered the offensive article in her
belongings, which is strictly forbidden on airplanes since the
September 11th attacks. A fellow passenger says, "She started yelling
that it wasn't hers and said 'The terrorists put it there'. She kept
yelling about the 'terrorists, the terrorists, the terrorists'."
After the knife was confiscated by TSA officials, the funnywoman
pulled out a key ring from her bag and told the agent it belonged to
the "terrorists", before throwing it at them. As she boarded the
plane, the Emmy-winning star told the TSA employees, "We're all
doomed." A spokeswoman for Cape Air says, "Miss Arthur was cracking
jokes and was a real character."

Really, there is no reason for me to try and be pithy, it's all here...End scene.
