Classic prank: going through security with a vibrator in your pants
I suppose everyone gets around to pondering this timeless question: what would happen if you stuffed a vibrator (turned on, for good measure) down your pants and then tried to go through security at the airport?Well, here's the answer you've been waiting for. John Hargrave, the cheeky trouble-maker who hacked the Super Bowl, found that it's surprisingly easy to do. I won't ruin the blow-by-blow account, which is here.
For an added bonus, if you're a frequent driver on the Massachusetts Turnpike, John has found out that those toll-booths don't really make you pay. This funny prank (in which at one point he tapes two pictures of the rapper 50 Cent to pay for a $1.00 toll) is here.

While I do agree that the security at airports is getting a bit much I think this is more like some just being a jackass than pulling a prank. Stop wasting the TSA's time by being a moron.

O churlish Kevin,
Read the message, not the messenger...
I am a former security guard who worked at Logan International Airport.
This guy broke security. He got a McGuffen through the Matrix. The McGuffen might have been anything, maybe something secureity is supposed to block. They allowed a devide with "batteries and wires" pass through. (Study the Boston Aquateen "Mooninite" fiasco.)
He broke security without weapons, accomplices or Arab money.
Consider the people kicked off flights (at their expense) merely for wearing shirts bearing Arabic text. (Source: Democracy Now's Amy Goodman, speaking in Concord, Ma. in 2006: http://www.492cafe.org/audio/events/2006_10_19-Goodmans)
He has demonstrated the ineffectiveness, and perhaps also, implicitly, the racism of this "security" system. (had he been Arab, then what?...)
Hargrave is The One!
