"You know what´s great fun to do if you´re on, say, a flight from Chicago to New York and you´re getting a little bored? Why not play being President Ahmadinejad? Stand up and yell in a loud voice, "I´ve got a bomb!" Next thing you know the air marshal will be telling people, "It´s OK, folks. Nothing to worry about. He hasn´t got a bomb." And then the second marshal would say, "And even if he did have a bomb it´s highly unlikely he´d ever use it." And then you threaten to kill the two Jews in row 12 and the stewardess says, "Relax, everyone. That´s just a harmless rhetorical flourish." And then a group of passengers in rows 4 to 7 point out, "Yes, but it´s entirely reasonable of him to have a bomb given the threatening behavior of the marshals and the´ cabin crew."
