We're back at the Cheese Shop sketch.....


"What are you doing, Sir?"
Listening to the pilots.
"You are listening to the pilots with a scanner?"
Yes.
"That's not permitted, Sir."
But this is an airshow.  With planes and everything.  What better place
to listen to the pilots?
"You can't listen to the pilots at an airshow, Sir."
Why not?
"Rules and regulations, Sir."
What's wrong with listening and watching?
"National Security, Sir.  If I told you I'd have to shoot you."
Ok, I'll just turn off the scanner then.

"You can still take pictures.  But only after they've taken off and you
can't see them too well."
So it's ok to take pictures then?
"Yes, but if you take more than two pictures, we confiscate the film or
card.  And maybe the kids."
