dun evr mention the word bomb
Have u heard of the stupid incident which happened in Singapore's Changi Airport? A family of three was being detained for three hours and missed their holiday trip overseas just because the mother mentioned the word "bomb" when the security was checking her shoes. " The story goes like this. The security was checking the shoes of the mum when they were checking in and the little boy asked her why do she have to take off her shoes and her reply was "cos they want to check if there is bomb in my shoes". This answer seems perfectly logical and fine to me but it seems like a taboo to those security staff. It almost seems that there is this rule in their staff guidelines that say that u have to detain anyone who mention the word bomb, how ridiculous can it be? Okay, i will pay more attention on what i am saying when i am checking in the next time...
