WHY THE TERRORISTS WILL NEVER DEFEAT THIS NATION USING TROPHIES
He should have broken it into pieces and put them into a clear, one-quart, zip-top plastic bag.

Maybe it was an ulterior plot by the airline to save money on fuel. That thing looks like it weighs a ton.

I've bent my middle finger at airport security several times.

Did "Eddie" pay for the extra seat next to him?

It's a good thing we've got airport security looking out for our best interests.
One of my friends took his Heisman on a plane, and two weeks later...BAM...herpes.

I'm so relieved that our dedicated public servants are keeping us safe from the menace of national merit award winners using their trophies to threaten the safety of the flying public. Think of the children, people!

Maybe they were afraid he'd try to put it in the over-head compartment.

Fed! Next time tell your friend to keep his Heisman IN while flying .... gawd, don't they warn people anymore?

The real danger is players with anger management issues keeping their trophy with them on the bench during away games where they can hurl them at fans of the opposing team.

Next, some terrorist wannabe is going to attack a flight crew with his glasses and belt. In response we'll all be flying blind with our pants falling down.
Common sense succumbs to blind obedience again. Wunnerful.

Sadly, the tropghty was lost in the web of O'Hare, and Smith never saw it again.

Edgar, It is probably with his luggage in Morrocco.

I still think that the logical endpoint of this is that everyone flies naked. AND goes through a metal detector.
Before you get excited at the prospect of seeing all those pilots outta their uniforms, just remember that 350-pound coming home from the Gilroy Garlic Festival who fell asleep on your shoulder the last time you flew...

*SNORK* @ Federal Duck
Wasn't expecting that one.

Or instead of seats just put everyone in their own luxury compartments(of course they'll really just be cages).

*deletes Lairbo's 11:05 comment in the interest of national security*
*buys stock in TrophyRepel™, since The Heisman Tactic is certain to replace biological and chemical weaponry*
**snorks* @ Fed and ties him to the blog*
