Hint: Riding on the baggage carousel is not a good idea
Ever wonder what would happen if you rode on the luggage carousel at your local airport? A New Hampshire 23-year-old decided to find out, and the answer wasn't good. Chris Jackson decided to take a seat on the carousel, which eventually took him out of the baggage-claim area and into a secure area of the Manchester (N.H.) airport. "It turns out [that's] not so funny after all, especially in a post Sept. 11 world," the Manchester Union-Leader writes. Local police Capt. Bill Hart tells the paper that it seems Jackson was just trying to have fun. "It appears it was simply a prank," Hart says. Still, Jackson was arrested on a charge of criminal trespass, and was led off in handcuffs and placed in the back of a police car. He’s now free on $5,000 bail and has been ordered to stay clear of Manchester’s airport. He has a trial date scheduled for Dec. 18.

I don't know about that. If someone tried to rush past the security stations "just for fun" I'd think they should be penalized. The baggage area IS a secure area - it gives access to thousands of pieces of luggage many of which are unlocked. Imagine what someone could quickly slip into a bag. For someone to intentionally go into a secure area they don't have access to and NOT expect there to be repercusions would be ridiculous.
