Speaking Australian In America Causes Security Alert

Sponge Bob

The coalition of the willing is breaking down. Speaking Australian is a threat to freedom and democracy in America

Sophie Reynolds, 41, from Queanbeyan, was flying aboard SkyWest Airlines from Atlanta to Pittsburgh this week when she asked a flight attendant if she could have a pack of pretzels instead of crackers.
"[The flight attendant] said they didn't have any [pretzels], and I said, 'Fair dinkum,' out of frustration," Reynolds was quoted as saying in the The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Security was alerted.

Before she knew it a second flight attendant asked her for her passport and copied down her name.
Then, when the flight landed, three uniformed officers greeted her.
"They said, 'You swore at the hostess and there are federal rules against that,"' Reynolds said. "And I said, 'I did not swear at the hostess, I just said 'fair dinkum."'

american security is note for its absolute stupidity , just like 'British Intelligence' is an oxymoron.

anyway they let her go , maybe she kept speaking Australian to them at high speed

Good thing she didnt say 'whats that skippy ? - no pretzels, strewth!'

American security can be a bit wierd sometimes - its like they are paranoid and stupid at the same time.

Of course, you wouldn't want the company's story to ruin a good chance to poke fun at the yanks, eh SpongeBob?

A spokeswoman for the airline said it was not simply a matter of misunderstanding the language.

"We witnessed aggressive behaviour throughout the flight," she said.

How many times have we seen drunk people get in trouble for acting the tit on a flight, only to have them claim they were doing nothing?

Ah come on now Seamus.
You wouldn't want to say something like "culabula" to them.

There is a kind-of untouchable attitude amongst a lot of both airline and airport staff IMHO.

That aussie should have taken Rolf Harris' advice and:
Kept her cockatoo cool, Curl,
kept her cockatoo cool.
Don't go acting the fool, Curl,
just keep yourcockatoo cool.
Altogether now!

I've stood behind Rolf Harris in a supermarket queue before, in fact I've "bumped" into him several times. Whenever I have, I've always gone away singing to myself "Tie me kangaroo down, sport". :rolleyes:
