Bruce Schneier says,
More stupid security, this time from Australia. Flight attendent finds air-sickness bag with the letters "BOB" written on it. In a dizzying feat of delusion, she imagines that "BOB" stands for "Bomb on Board," and convinces the captain to turn the plane around and make an emergency landing. I try to draw some actual lessons from this bit of stupidity.
Link. This certainly is stupidity. Everyone knows "B.O.B." is nothing more than a really good Outkast song from the album Stankonia. Don't fear the funk. Or — wait — could they have been talking about that Bob? Something to fear, indeed.
