"Security" Run Amok

A man tries to pay a $114 tab using $2 bills and gets arrested. Apparently the sales drones at his local Best Buy had never seen a $2 bill, and as Baltimore Country police spokesperson says "we're all a little nervous in the post-9/11 world."
A friend once had a great idea for a fun prank: you can buy $2 bills in sheet form. Take a sheet of money and a pair of scissors into a store, and when you check out, whip out the the sheet and the scissors and start cutting off individual notes. Perfectly legal, but apparently not funny in the "post-9/11 world".
