LA International Airport was briefly shut down as panicked police arrested a man in a Zorro costume with a plastic sword.
What a ridiculous overreaction. Now if he’d been an elderly woman in a wheelchair…

This is LA right? What’s so unusual about a man in a Zorro suit with a plastic sword. Any other city I could see a need for panic…but LA? Sounds normal to me.
Did they arrest him because he had a plastic sword, a Zorro suit or for being a hispanic?
The charge: not being married to Catherine Zeta-Jones.
So he wasn’t Michael Douglas?
It would not have been a problem except that he drew it on a TSA agent and said, “My name is Inigo Montoya. Jew killed my father. Prepare to die!”
Threat reaction, Code Pink.
Zorro was just awaiting the arrival of Elmo, Mickey Mouse, The Naked Cowboy, and a drag queen from Times Square for his bachelor party weekend. (Of course, the handcuffs and police uniforms confused him into thinking they had arranged a surprise for him.)
