Count down clock of a carry on bomb.

A few years ago, before 9-11, PCComputing had Penn/Teller wrote a column about something similar to this <set up the laptop with a count down clock as a bomb>.

No, I got that part.

But, once everything went to zero, the other guy would have figured out that nothing happened, right?

Or am I just over analyzing it?

That's the funny part. For a few seconds he'll be thinking "OMG! This guy's got a bomb right next to me! We're all going to die!!!!!!!!" Then, he'll probably realize the prank after a few seconds anyway.

That said, I would NOT attempt this on a plane or airport in this day and age.

The joke is about the paranoid of some of the people. I read somewhere that some airline refuse to let young Arabic males to board and sit together.

That would be even more funny if you look like a young Arabic male, mumble in words such as Allah...Mohamad, wear bulky dark shirt with something underneath, look mean...then pull that prank..LOL.

 
Lol I would (and probably could) beat you down if I saw that sh!t and didn't know it was fake.
After smashing your laptop with whatever was at hand.
