Those weapons must be real if she's getting stopped by security.

Another funny strip! Laughing

In this post 9/11 World it's comon knowellge you don't bring pointy objects as carry ons... Hell I've only flown twice (by which I mean two round trips) and even I know you don't bring pointy objects... the pointest obbect I brogutht on a plane was pair of chop sticks and those were a small gift from my mom bought after securty as we were waiting for out plane home from Japan... It's just common sense.

I was pretty much sold on this week's strip but the sign in the last panel was like icing on the cake.

Bravo!

^ Gah! Beat me to the sign comment!

Anyway, I've been following these comics ever since their start, so great job as always, Sevakis. A part of me wonders, though... wasn't there a recently won lawsuit by SQUARE-ENIX against these unlicensed manufacturers of FF-based weaponry? If so, then might she buying UNLICENSED MERCHANDISE? Or is that at all relevant to her, even...?

No, more likely she made them herself. Still unliscensed, but she didn't buy them Razz

Please, this is the TSA we are talking about, as long as the weapons go through the x-ray machine everything is fine...

...

... wait ... HIT THE DECK, HER BELT BUCKLE IS SHINY!!! That or her innocent looking hairbow is kept on by a +5 barrette of pilot slaying. Either way, if you tried checking all those accessories, they would just pull you off the plane for a chat. At least this way everything is out in the open up front.

Hmm, short and completely off-topic from the prior series ... I'm suddenly curious to read the TIAF round-ups for tales of inspiration.

In a post 9/11 world you can get stopped for anything. And no, anime doesn't count to magically get you through.

Silly people, don't you know the TSA are humorless rubes that simply take their disgruntled views on life out on anime fans? Laughing

Nah, they totally copied off of Robin's idea and just beat her to the punch. Wink

Well I can't speak for Paoloa's armory, but that sign brought back memories of every time I've gone through security at Salt Lake Laughing

Yeah you really need to prove that those weapons are fake. You also really should transport them not as carry ons.

When I went out of the country for spring break, someone bought a toy wooden sword and tried to take it as a carryon, though it had to get checked, but it came out fine, no broken pieces when we came back to the U.S. o__o

Actually, I was wondering about Nina there, she doesn't look too good. I was wondering if it was the after-effects of a little pre-convention trip partying going on. Or, more likely, she was getting bored to tears waiting for the TSA to finish Paola's interrogation.

I love the Security Alert sign there in the background. Slipped that one in on us, eh?
