- ju1io1967, on 10/12/2007, -6/+180Funny as hell but also the quickest way to get arrested... you know those anal retentive a-holes will arrest you for it.
- DisembarkedOne, on 10/12/2007, -1/+144I was going to say more like good way to get shot at at point blank range
- bitcloud, on 10/12/2007, -5/+163Or a good way to get extradited to an unknown country without access to legal recourses, tortured in syria for 2 years and then released to your home country, Canada, without charge, explanation or apology.
- CriX, on 10/12/2007, -3/+28I gurantee anyone working airport security would ***** you up if you tried to do a little candid camera "fun" with this. It wouldn't need to be some "anal retentive *****" either.
- MattR, on 10/12/2007, -0/+78What no beeping, it needs the typical movie sound effect beeping
- Yashar, on 10/12/2007, -3/+31I can imagine someone doing it then when it reaches 0 you hear the apple startup sound.
- Nothlit, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8I have taken my laptop through airport security dozens upon dozens of times, and they have never once asked me to turn it on. Is subway security different?

Also- can someone please make this into a screensaver? - stylerm, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5I thought it was going to be windows RG
- christoffer, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2@MattR
Not really related, but speaking of "typical movie sound effect beeping", I came to think about: http://www.nullsoft.com/free/nbeep/ - theRIAA, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7i would react by throwing the laptop on the ground and smashing it to bits
- blitzkun, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6If, supposedly, they DID shoot you down after you attempt to play this little hoax, what good would it do anyway? If the laptop DID carry a bomb, everyone would be dead already.
- MysticSavage, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4I hear Guantanamo Bay is nice at this time of year...and this'll get you a one-way ticket there.
- ufia, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8We would get arrested, you think so? I think airport security would probably just ignore it because it does not look like a bottle of water.
- eatasandwich, on 10/12/2007, -1/+213Dugg in the hope that increased exposure means someone out there is stupid enough to try this out and get on the news!
- cheezymongrel, on 10/12/2007, -27/+14Someone out there is stupid enough to think their computer will explode after opening this url, too...
- aboutblank, on 10/12/2007, -19/+8You REALLY want to see a guy shot dead 6 times in the head.... again? Hell, at least he won't have jumped the turnstyle.
- foolfromhell, on 10/12/2007, -10/+4I would, am getting an Inspiron when DX10 cards come out. Ill videotape it and check the reaction!
- ComputerWiz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+97"Someone out there is stupid enough to think their computer will explode after opening this url, too..."
It might if they're using a Sony battery.
- bryant, on 10/12/2007, -14/+36May I suggest a disclaimer, swifty12?
- DesireCampbell, on 10/12/2007, -1/+39Are numbers 'not safe for work' now?
- FerrisYJ, on 10/12/2007, -2/+135$10 to the first one who does this on video.
- virtualball, on 10/12/2007, -1/+61Make it 11 and I'm in!
- adinb, on 10/12/2007, -1/+39I'll up that to $50 for the first person to make a video doing this at a checkpoint.
(I don't have to travel much anymore, so I'll just be a bad influence!)
I assume that I'll have to provide the money to the claimant's next of kin tho'. - zweben, on 10/12/2007, -2/+23Add my $10 to that.
Come on people! You know you want $20! - zweben, on 10/12/2007, -0/+71*Er, $60.
Please note that this offer is void if you die. - goat4, on 10/12/2007, -0/+33if someone did this, actually in an airport at security check and everything, no actors or anything, i would add 100$.
- Clbck, on 10/12/2007, -0/+22I am seriously considering trying it. The only aspect that's making me reconsider is the guns that those guys carry. =/
- TiMMY8765, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10I would give $20 to do it at an airport, $40 more if you get it on cnn
- sembetu, on 10/12/2007, -1/+90$1,000.00 to the first person to do this on concealed video before an international flight to Iran from any of the following East Coast cities:

Hey... guess what... those silly sanction things the government comes up with... yeah well you would be extremely lucky to find a flight to Iran from a US city let alone a US carrier. But I guess you knew that when you came up with the ***** $1,000 offer. Lame.
I usually fly thorugh France when visiting Iran, but hey that's just me. - Zipp425, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3What would happen if I did this?
Im not saying that I will, Im just wondering what they could do to me if I did. - andreo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5@kevin2735:
"I usually fly through France when visiting Iran, but hey that's just me. "
Not any more you don't (if your flying from a US city). I bet you a crisp clean dollar bill that you end up on some government "do not fly" list. Especially if your connection is going through a AT&T internet tube. - lakawak, on 10/12/2007, -10/+0Are diggers really THAT stupid, or do you just watch too many movies?
What will happen? Well, you may end up getting detained for awhile, but NOT becuase they think anything is going to happen. Because you see, unlike you idiots, they don't beleive the Hollywood ***** that shows a huge red countdown on a bomb. - SecretPact, on 10/12/2007, -15/+2"$1,000.00 to the first person to do this on concealed video before an international flight to Iran from any of the following East Coast cities:

What the heck, why isn't Los Angeles, CA on this list? - DiamondIce, on 10/12/2007, -0/+19SecretPact, go look at a map of the U.S.A. and you will find out why.
- rajulkabir, on 10/12/2007, -6/+1DiamondIce, what's the difference between flying to Iran from Bangor vs Los Angeles? Either way you have to change planes. Don't need a map to figure that out.
- borb, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3@Secretpact: EAST COAST douchebag...
- Sagags, on 10/12/2007, -4/+42Funny!
But one question, what dose that say above the countdown?- santiago1, on 10/12/2007, -3/+132 "All your base will belong to us in:"
- SIGINT, on 10/12/2007, -23/+9It's total gibberish. Read my comment below.
- pennyfan87, on 10/12/2007, -1/+13Somebody will set you up the bomb in:
- titlesaysitall, on 10/12/2007, -3/+49Actually it says "Someone set us up the bomb."
- SIGINT, on 10/12/2007, -49/+23Man... That's not even proper Arabic. A general rule of thumb is there are isolated, initial, medial and final form of most Arabic alphabets. Open up your Charmap and check out Tahoma. At least you can string 4 alphabets up, even thought its complete nonsense.
- sparks2, on 10/12/2007, -1/+58Dude, the fact that it's gibberish is not important (I can read arabic I know what you mean, it looks awful) it's just the fact that the reaction is something like "HOLY F#$&! ARABIC! COUNTDOWN! F@$# SH!#$!" then you're probably arrested or shot...
I love it, but wouldn't try it for all the money in the world ;) - ModernGeek, on 10/12/2007, -0/+22@sparks2: Look above, they are offering all the money in the world for someone to do it :)
- foolfromhell, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1Whats it say?
- masamunecyrus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+19@SIGINT:
Is this proper arabic?
سينهي هذا عدّ تنازليّ في:
I'm going to assume it's not, as it was translated with SYSTRAN, but it ~should~ say, "This countdown will end in:" - pevensen, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2I was going to ask what the Arabic says, but I guess it is just gibberish?
- rajulkabir, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0It's worse than gibberish, the letters aren't even written correctly. I am not sure how someone could type it and have it come out that way; the computer should have connected the letters and changed them to the proper forms.
- sparks2, on 10/12/2007, -1/+58Dude, the fact that it's gibberish is not important (I can read arabic I know what you mean, it looks awful) it's just the fact that the reaction is something like "HOLY F#$&! ARABIC! COUNTDOWN! F@$# SH!#$!" then you're probably arrested or shot...
- Zethris, on 10/12/2007, -1/+50Thats terrible! ...I love it!
- skyhighrockets, on 10/12/2007, -3/+56"- That was wonderful!
- Bravo!
- I loved that!
- Ah, that was great!
- Well, it was pretty good.
- Well, it wasn't bad ...
- Uh, there were parts of it that weren't very good though.
- It could have been a lot better.
- I didn't really like it.
- It was pretty terrible.
- It was bad.
- It was awful!
- It was terrible!
- Take 'em away!
- Bah, boo!
- Boo!" - wowbagger, on 10/12/2007, -6/+4@skyhighrockets
Wonderful reference to the muppets ! - leszek, on 10/12/2007, -4/+3Zethris is probably a french guy.
"terrible" in french could be "wonderful" in english - blobzorz, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8Manah Manah?
- skyhighrockets, on 10/12/2007, -3/+56"- That was wonderful!
- apu95, on 10/12/2007, -3/+10LMFAO, that's hilarious...though I can't think of anybody that would actually want to do that, just the idea makes me laugh.
- teherga, on 10/12/2007, -12/+3what does that even say
- d00fy, on 10/12/2007, -6/+7I wonder if you could sue the state for wrongful arrest if you used it similiarly as a locked screen saver and put it in sleep mode?
- d00fy, on 10/12/2007, -7/+3It was a joke - chill out! It was like me suggesting you go get yourself and children chipped and vaccinated. Eat your virii filled meat products while you're at it - or go punch of a vegan in their malnurished face.
- MadNuke, on 10/12/2007, -16/+75Ahaha.
The arabic script reads...
"Take away my rights in 10...9...8...7..."
That's bloody hilarious.- mapkinase, on 10/12/2007, -10/+28No, it does not.
- MadNuke, on 10/12/2007, -8/+29Aw buddy, I was just JOSHIN'.
I can't actually read Arabic. - bitcloud, on 10/12/2007, -4/+11That would be funny...
Someone who writes in arabic needs to recreate this animation with the parents comments, and attempt this with a film crew.
It is a work of genius. - mapkinase, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1@MadNuke
I understood that you are joking. Now understand that this is a joke only for those who do not have a clue about Arabic. Moreso, chewing on the subject in any positive you just contributes to the tornado of anti-Arab histeria in the Western world. - DavidTrom, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1that would be awesome-funy, "take away my rights"
can somebody say what the arabic script says?
- tommycai, on 10/12/2007, -3/+14that is some funny stuff, for 10bucks i'm down to try it my life is only worth 9.95 i'm making a great profit hahahaha
- kell, on 10/12/2007, -3/+4nyahah!!! very cool! but not from the police' eyes.!!

- ImTheDarkcyde, on 10/12/2007, -54/+2sorry, i can't even begin to say how lame this is. I started coming to digg because they had some pretty good technews, and it moved fast. But now i get 10 second flash animations that are completely devoid of humor.
gg digg.- NSMike, on 10/12/2007, -0/+30Then... Maybe you should take a look at the "Technology" section for tech news instead of videos. Just an idea.
- LucasVB, on 10/12/2007, -1/+21"Topic: Animation Videos"... What did you expect?
- Volatile, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5We can't please everyone. I found it amusing. Go to the next story; I'm sure it'll be much more interesting to you.
- RiemannLebesgue, on 10/12/2007, -25/+2Disgusting.
- arkmtech, on 10/12/2007, -0/+44Where are the beeps?
- Lumiras, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Well, that's really nice and all, but I really don't want to get shot the next time I try to get on a subway
- washingtonydc, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3man, what subway has security check for laptops? I've never seen it done here, thank God.
- SuperCow1127, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1London and NYC for one. Around the time of the bombings in London, NYPD started doing random searches at certain stations.
- Daiken, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1lol! I so want to play that. It would work anywhere including the airport. Only fear is getting shot on the spot. Ever since the incident in Britain took place, anything is possible.
- Cleanlyness, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Please somebody play this in public and film it.
- CRasH180, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5A fake mass panic or two and you have some comedy? Well, yeah....
- RatTrap, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6Nicely made.
- Circa, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1genius.
- innerspirit, on 10/12/2007, -5/+2its funny as hell but if you think about it, it has only a seconds counter and lower, that doesnt make it look very realistic, not to mention why would a suicidal extremist need a countdown for his bomb in the first place? :)
- ShadySpace, on 10/12/2007, -3/+11I don't think an airport screener who saw a countdown clock featuring Arabic would think logically about that *****. Besides, the American Way is "shoot first... uh, was I supposed to ask a question?"
- lakawak, on 10/12/2007, -6/+0Yeah...because if it had hours and minutes it would be SO much more believeable.
Sorry moron, but real life is not a Lethal Weapon movie. Bombs are NOT detonated after a huge red countdown reaches 0 on a laptop screen.
- dmurray14, on 10/12/2007, -3/+7I hope you'd get the unbelievable ass-beating you deserve.

- gxcdesign, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Good way to have your laptop thrown down an empty hall and everyone getting down on teh ground...followed by an interrogation by Jack Bauer
- AnteChronos, on 10/12/2007, -4/+9People are commenting on how funny this is, and, while it's funny in the "haha, I'm messing with The Man" sense, if someone were to actually use this on the subway, it would be akin to shouting "fire!" in a crowded theater; You run the chance of injuring a great many people for the sake of a childish prank.
- Daiken, on 10/12/2007, -5/+11Not really. You'd only show it if asked. It'd be the fault of "The Man" for trying to invade your privacy.

- cowgurlb, on 10/12/2007, -31/+3if the script is in arabic, wouldn't it make sense for the count down to be in arabic as well? why would they use our number system and their alphabet? it automatically looks fake.
plus if any idiot tried using ANY prank at a security check point they deserve to be shot. things are too scary lately to risk pulling an officer (or more) away from his job both physically and mentally because you think you're funny and original.- RiemannLebesgue, on 10/12/2007, -11/+2I agree with your second point. Only a jackass would try something like this, and he'd get exactly what he deserves.
- Rizmaster, on 10/12/2007, -1/+36Because it's not like we use the Arabic Numerals System or anything. Idiot.
- sembetu, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3I thought our numbering is referred to as arabic numbering as opposed to roman numbering. I could be wrong, though...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arabic_numerals - jmah, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3Uh, ever heard of Arabic numerals? Perhaps they look like this: 0123456789
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arabic_numerals
(OK, lots of dupes now) - cowgurlb, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3Arabs themselves call the Eastern Arabic numerals "Indian numerals," أرقام هندية, (arqam hindiyyah) and use a different set of Arabic symbols as numerals.
so before you start calling people dumb asses and idiots, check your facts. dumbass.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arabic_numerals - Jun168, on 10/12/2007, -5/+1Just because you can link to wikipedia doesn't mean you know what you're talking about. You clearly do not know. Dumbass.
- waxoff, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7I spent 6 months between Iraq, Qatar, and Kuwait. Cowgurlb got it right, Arabs don't use European style numerals, they use Arabic-Indic numerals. Don't be so quick to call someone an Idiot next time.
- rajulkabir, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Both sets of numerals (Indic (aka Arabic) and Arabic (aka Western)) are in regular use in Arabic-speaking countries. The non-Western numerals are definitely more plentiful, but everyone knows how to use both kinds. The Western ones are particularly common when dealing with computers. Many of my home and office phones, etc., have only had Western numerals.

Because bombers don't put huge countdowns on their screens counting down to detonation. At least not outside Hollywood.
- SirNuke, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Everone is way overthinking this. Why place this on your own personal laptop when you can put it on a public web terminal?

"two confirmed terrorists were shot down today, we're still waiting for more details" ...- titlesaysitall, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9I think you just outdid Alex and Kevin in the amount of dudes used.
- d00fy, on 10/12/2007, -3/+15That's right on the money!
Elaboration On CNN:
Home grown terror cells?
Two confirmed terrorists, were dealt discretion and with necessary force only. Intelligence, although still limited and unraveling, suggests they were also found to be indirectly connected with Al Qaeda (supposive Arab Script) - The details thus far, is that although they did penetrate the subterrain commute system; thankfully no civilians were injured thanks to immediate attention brought on by patriotic subway transiants and the actions of underground security. Not only did they try to carryhave a timer [laptop] but also a detonator [cell phone] and concealed explosive device [battery]. There was also a pack of gum, and the FBI/ATF explosives units are currently running tests, however it appears to simply be Wrigley's. - Suplyndmnd, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2Just gotta say, the rest of the comment was "eh" on the funny scale until "There was also a pack of gum, and the FBI/ATF explosives units are currently running tests, however it appears to simply be Wrigley's." Hi-LARIOUS!
Also, why would you do this for even 1,000 dollars. You DO realize you're gonna be fined in the neighborhood of 50,000 or more. Plus, you're looking at time in the "***** me in the ass" prison. Not some local jail. Not mandatory but if I was a judge and you came before me? I'd throw the book at ya so the next moron who thinks this would be funny, would think twice. You do realize you could cause someone's DEATH right? People panic? They trample someone who cant run, like a child. Then you're looking at aggravated murder charges.
All for 1,000 dollars and the "Dude, this would be so funny". You children need to grow up. I say you children because it's usually children and inmature people who dont think beyond their actions.

Either way, I'm in...
If there is serious interest, I've named my price, tell me to set up a paypal acct, and we'll get kicking..
