Don't you just love how the holiday season meshes with the Great American Paranoia?
I feel sorry for those poor people who have their flights delayed and have to sit there for hours...
That message wasn't being played the last time I got on a plane...
I wanna see thread level RED.

Maybe if we rack up enough comments, we can reach it!
It's kinda ominous at the end... "All suspicious people will be shot... sleep in heavenly peace..."

Yes Jam, you too XD
Was your flight delayed?
Delayed...then cancelled... then delayed again!
I apparently lucked out.
Or maybe it's just the Chinese Airline. "Well, we could value the safety of our customers, considering one of the wings is missing. I think the schedule is much more important though." :D
Totally great until I die. And I hope I don't.

Very interesting! Thanks, Halfling!
ROFL. I cant tell you all teh crazy things that can happen on planes. XD Thats hilarious. Why does stuff like that happen at all. If i were singing and a message like that came up, i might switch to start singing "Oh...My god... Noone touch me.." To the same tune.
At threat level red, they arm the anti-aircraft artillery and mobilize the airforce across the country. Suspicious AIRCRAFT will be shot. I wish I was making this up.

I know dudes in fatigues with machine guns wander around the halls at Threat Level Red ;_; and the streets.
The Threat level is such bullshit, it's nothing but fear mongering.
I remember once (I think it was the summer after 7/7) I was flying from Cardiff to Edinburgh and there were really tooled up armed police in the check in area. Assault rifles, grenades, bullet proof vests, etc. They were standing under a banner saying "armed for your protection".
As this is South Wales Police who are not renowned for their competence we were not particularly reassured by this (as examples of their lack of competence they once famously landed their helicopter in someone's house, they also once when investigating a series of murders where the only witness said that the murderer was a middle aged white man proceed to go out and arrest several young black men......)

double post sorry
hehehe, nice way to enjoy holidays i thinks
There's actually a Simon and Garfunkle song which is essentially this: them singing "Silent Night" while the 7 o'clock news plays in the background.

....oh my gosh .... This same thing happened to me in the Chicago Airport! ... they must do that as a joke!
In white plains NY they play it every 23 seconds, no joke, I timed it, they are so loud that you cannot drown them out with your headphones at full volume, you cannot hear your phone calls, nothing, no way to escape the persistent announcements... it felt like brainwashing (they even had speakers in the bathroom)
-dies laughing-
The irony of it keeps attacking my brain......XD
lol..i live there >.>
I shouldn't wear my mask there but I will just to annoy people.
Major roflcopters. 8D God, I love their pizza, even if their government and mafia is totally wacked out. lolz I was born there, so even tho I grew up elsewhere, I still consider myself a native. XD
O_o o-o o_O
w...t....h...
WTF?! THEY REALLY DO THAT? WHOA THEY WILL never do such thing here were i live casue that will mean a very big blood pool
As someone that lives less than an hour from Detroit and always flies out of that airport, I have to say I think that those warnings are played to cover up the fact that the security is...somewhat lacking. When I flew to Japan in March (only 3 months after the terrorist incident on an international flight AT THAT SAME AIRPORT, mind you), I got through security in about 5 minutes. Didn't have to empty my bags, or open them at all, just walked right through the x-ray machine.
