How my 12 year old had fun on a flight from PDX to DFW

Sorry if this offends but we really thought it was funny.
He was sitting in the last row on a Super 80. Hi backpack was stored in the overhead.
He had a remote control whoopie cushion in the pack and the little remote in his hand.
Periodically, when someone went in the bathroom he would trigger the sounds.
He watched exzpressions of the people around and never let on to the joke.
Crazy kid... he said it was sooooo funny, especially when there was a line of people.

That is very funny! My son did a similar thing in a movie theatre once when he was younger. It was very funny! He once made the mistake of taking it to school and the prinicpal called and said, "you need to come and pick this up and you guys can have a lot of fun at home with this!" Embarrassing to say the least!! Thanks for the laugh! ***kim***

Jokes aside, they let you bring on board a remote-controlled device? Now, that's safety!

Hmmm... never thought of that. The remote looks like a keychain remote.
As far as I know there is no FAA ban on remote controls. A detonator could be disguised as just about anything.

Hi TP,

When we travel through airports my husband and son (YES, husband), enjoy to bring their "fart machine" along.

Their favorite fun is setting the base unit under the chairs on the concourse, and watching the expressions of people as they are walking by, or sitting down in the chairs over it. We've seen many wives reprimand husbands, flight attendants give their captains the "evil eye", and strangers bust out laughing to themselves.

Many times the employees at the airport will catch on and sit down somewhere nearby and enjoy a good laugh.

Although I've begged them not to bring it, I must admit it is good for a gut wrenching laugh

HI Makai1!! Actually, that was what my son had, but I didn't want to say the name of it! LOL His grandfather got it for him when he was younger!

Now, I think I'll go try to locate that thing for my daughter's swim meet! JK!!! ***kim***
