No, Steve Jobs is not a ninja

No, Steve Jobs is not a ninja
SPA! magazine, a Japanese tabloid, recently wrote a report on Apple CEO Steve Jobs claiming that Jobs would never return to Japan after airport officials would not allow him on his private plane with a luggage bag full of "ninja" throwing stars.

Going through a standard security scan at the Kansai International Airport in Japan, security detected a number of throwing stars in Job's carry-on luggage.



When the stars were taken away, Jobs angrily told officials he would never return to Japan, and that it didn't make sense that Jobs would try to hijack his own plane, especially with throwing stars.

Apple has made sure to dismiss the story today, saying: "Steve did visit Japan this summer for a vacation in Kyoto, but the incidents described at the airport are pure fiction. Steve had a great time and hopes to visit Japan again soon."

A spokesperson at the Kansai airport did confirm that a passenger in a private plane was stopped in late July for carrying throwing stars and other knives but the passenger was not identified.

    I wanted to say something funny, but I honestly can't really think of anything that would do this article justice... Still hardly news worthy, I starting to think Afterdawn needs a gossip section.

    Sounds like the Steve Jobs I know...cutting off a whole country because they would not let him do something dumb.

    HINT: If you are going through an airport, expect to go through airport security. If you want to smuggle weapons (any weapons) out of the country, then don't go through an airport.

    I am sure the swords were not carried on the plane. You used to be able to transport guns this way as well. They are transported in very secure luggage and declared. The luggage has to be approved for weapons, probably steel lined ect so someone can't steal them and use them. I can see where Jobs might be miffed since it was his plane. Still, if he wasn't so arrogant he would have not carried them on board and would have avoided this.
