Depends. If you can be witty and throw in a classical reference or two they might let you off.

Interesting. Harsh talking-to's are quite often illegal in the US. Actually, that should be a TSA warning.

Back in 92 (I think), a French Formula 1 driver called Betrand Gachot got 2 months in jail for using it on a taxi driver in London. Some "road rage" incident if I recall correctly.

What the hell did the taxi driver do to warrant the pepper spray?

Say "Who the f*** are you" presumably . . .

Unless the taxi driver attacked him I would say that's more than fair. That shit hurts.

Absolutely it would. I've made the mistake of rubbing my eye after cutting up hot peppers. It's no laughing matter.

Speaking of the TSA:

Jesse Ventura is suing.

MSNBC reports:

"Not all travelers are selected to go through the scanners, but the TSA requires people who decline to submit to pat-downs that include checks of the inside of their thighs and buttocks."

Checks of the inside of my buttocks?
