Given the heightened security at airports, why do something you know is going to raise red flags? The airport isn't a place to screw around. Just like making a joke about a bomb in an airport will get you into trouble.
And as for the police overreacting, a police officer only gets a split second to make a decision sometimes. If you look suspicious and have something suspicious on you, you place yourself in danger. There have been situations where police have shot someone for trying to pull a cellphone out of their pocket, because the officer thought it was a gun. Once again, when it comes to security and police, why attract attention to yourself. There is absolutely no good to come of it.
