Steve Jobs Never Wants to Visit Japan Again after Ninja Weapon Airport Incident

Monday, September 20, 2010




Uh oh! Today, Japanese magazine Spa! reported that back in July, Apple CEO Steve Jobs attempted to board his private plane at Kansai International Airport in Osaka for a return to the United States after a family vacation in Kyoto. All was well until...airport security discovered ninja throwing stars in Jobs' luggage, and would not allow him to take them home...yes, even aboard his private plane.
As a result of this ruling, Jobs allegedly declared that he'd "never visit Japan again," which is a tall statement coming from the head of the world's most influential technology companies. Spa! notes that Jobs "said it wouldn’t make sense for a person to try to hijack his own plane," which is totally true, but still. Throwing stars are legally weapons. A report was filed on the incident and Apple declines to comment.
A Kansai Airport spokesman said that the passenger (the airport refuses to name Jobs due to their privacy policy) eventually threw away the stars and boarded the flight to the US without the weapons. Ha—he threw out the throwing stars! Doesn't Jobs know that you can buy these things for like, $5 at the local mall's Asian imports store? And yes, the sharp and fancy ones too, though those cost a little more.
