Title: Idiot of the Day Award
Post by: fightingquaker13 on January 01, 2012, 10:22:41 AM

That really shows the necessity of going through your pack to make sure there isn't anything that will get the TSA upset.

Here's another nominee:

Police say a North Carolina man insisted his million-dollar note was real when he was buying $476 worth of items at a Walmart.

If he actually had $1M to back it up it is more valid than a federal reserve note.
