The Rattle Wasn't Nearly As Funny As the Body Cavity Search the Canadians Gave Me

Another prank has gone horribly awry, this time forcing the closure of highways on both sides of the United States/Canada border. During a routine vehicle inspection, Canadian officials found a "suspicious device" that turned out to be a metal tube filled with ball bearings and crimped at both ends. Co-workers of the car's driver had placed the device there as a prank, thinking that the rattle would annoy him. U. S. officials are now deciding whether or not to press charges against the pranksters. It seems that in the post-9/11 world, a sense of humor by government officials is getting harder and harder to come by. Source

I'm not too fond of practical jokes and pranks, but the government officials need to back down and have a doughnut for lunch.
