    I'd probably get tired of that pretty quickly if I had to listen to a loop of that at my station :P ... oh, and there was a chainsaw at one point in the video. I once heard a story of a guy trying to bring one through MSP security, but it was ok because he drained the gas out of it (right...)

    That was incredible... my questions is how did they bring the guns in to film it when guns are illegal to even bring thru the front door?

    I would guess the airport was closed and they got special permission to film there?

    Guns aren't 100% banned in airports. In Northern Wisconsin, we get people checking firearms all the time during the hunting season. There are also provisions for passengers carrying firearms (most people cannot do this, of course, but there are a few exceptions out there). Also, our airport's terminal had finished remodeling and the secure area was open during an open house. Of course, this wasn't during flight time, and the TSA had to allow for it and (I'm sure) scan the place for unallowed items after, but I'm sure it wasn't too hard to do that for this video.

    Humorous airport video no laughing matter for DFW officials

    ‪"STUCK" - Two Guys Stuck in an Airport with a Video Camera‬‏ - YouTube
    The two young men Joe Ayala and Larry Chen are automotive photographers, who just happen to be carrying $30,000 worth of camera equipment when they became stuck at DFW.

    The reaction to the video was no laughing matter - Overhead Bin - Humorous airport video no laughing matter for DFW officials

    Man... I know they said that they were going to address the fact that the restaurant was unsecured like that, but I can't help but to think about what all that kitchen would have that wouldn't normally be allowed in the secure area of a terminal... things like giant knives, for example. Wouldn't have been hard to walk off with that.
