Send 'X-Ray Messages' to Airport Security With These Steel Plates

by Lee Bains on October 13, 2008 at 02:53 PM



There are certain people and institutions you should never really mess with: 911 operators, your government's computer systems, and T.S.A. security personnel. Apparently, nobody informed designer Evan Roth of the latter.

Probably the kind of guy that wonders, "Just what would that cop do if I reached out for his pistol all of a sudden?," Roth has laser-cut "hilarious" messages and images into stainless steel plates so that trouble-making airline passengers can play a little prank when security folks X-ray their baggage, Asylum reports.

While Roth's stock designs include "Nothing to see here," "Mind your own business" and an image of Osama Bin Laden, the plates are fully customizable. Although these plates are clearly intended for artistic, rather than practical, use, we're certain there will be some airborne jokester unable to resist zipping one of these bad boys into his backpack. For that guy's customized plate, may we recommend the more straightforward "Arrest me, please." [From: Asylum]
