Rumor: Japanese Security Dashed Steve Jobs' Ninja Hopes

No they are in the right here. Ok there is no reason that he would hijack his own plane but high stress job i am waiting for him to flip out and kill someone...in all seriousness if you want to import weaponry there are plenty of ways to do it instead of carry on he could have had it put into cargo or something along those lines I know when my friend brought a sword home he had to have it shipped over. I'm just saying there are plenty of ways to deal with it instead of acting like a 5 year old and sulking.
So we finally have some insight as to why Jobs always wears those black turtle necks. Neither fashionable or functional, it was so he could begin murdering samurai at a moments notice. I bet the jeans are tear away and he's engineered a mask of some kind or other. Next from Apple: iNinja.
I think there are other reasons, I remember when I was in Japan last I had to have an ornamental sword I bought there mailed over because it wasn't allowed on the plane, but, I think it's more to do with some policy on exporting weapons, ornamental or otherwise in as much as it is not being allowed have them on the plane. I could be wrong though.Kontar said:
If it was Mr.Jobs, he's is being a big baby if he's actually not going to go back to Japan after this.
Yeah, holding a shuriken that way would hurt. You're meant to hold it on the flat, obviously.
Anyway, it seems like nonsense to me. I wouldn't be surprised if it was Steve Job's self-conceived idea to create a new PR image for himself. Apple has done both better and worse than this before.

Thank god someone pulled him off his pedestal. The next logical step is that he "argued with police officials that it made no sense for him to try and kill with his own shuriken"
Well he obviously wanted to become a ninja, but why would the league of ninjas possibly think of recruiting him now if he can't even sneak some shuriken onboard his own plane...
...In a more serious matter, I see this as probably true, as such an incident seems to have happened on the same day he left and rumor soon spread that he was the guy involved... not likely it happened to some other private jet owner and then some Japan airport security guys decided to say it was Steve, just a bit far-fetched.
Nice work on photo too, and whole incident made me laugh.

you can put those kind of stuff in your suitcase (where you can't access them), but putting them in your hand luggage would be a definite no noHentMas said:
OT: I really hope this is true... despite me loving Apple products, having one of the richest men on the planet in such a situation kinda gives me the giggles XD
Awesome, the less countries Jobs can taint with his enormous ego, the better.
Also, bringing a weapon to an airport alone is just plain stupid. I don't care how rich you are, obey the rules that everyone else has to.

He's a mime. He just fails really hard at it.fix-the-spade said:
Love the idea of someone hijacking their own jet, though. Makes total sense.
iSpy a Ninja-wannabe in the midst. He may not be a trained assassin, but at the very least he's a mental-ninja. What else could explain the phenomena of people trading in their iPods every reiteration as if the outdated models can give you a disease? Perhaps Jobs wanted to have a shurikan on hand to reverse-engineer it for a new app?
I'm just curious, but I wonder if the stars were on his person or carry-on baggage? I could see letting him keep the shurikans in a separate luggage hold inaccessible until the plane landed. But carrying around ninja stars in a private jet where they probably serve him gilded apples and thousand-dollar bottles of wine? I could just see him in a state of pure intoxication after a high-stress business meeting where his ego would convince himself that he is a ninja! I'm scared to think of what could happen next.
