That is one dangerous mistake.... like someone in the news pointed out, if they had been terrorists or just crazy, they would have had easy access to knives forks etc to hold anyone specially th VP or a VIP hostage or wrose..... thank God they were just two "zero's" seeing how far they could go...... sigh......

At least they caught them before they had their dinner. The menu looked pretty impressive.

How I dislike these reality shows or whatever ! just heard the whole thing was planned and some people had been alerted to this idiocy and they were indeed in the lists of guests ! what is going on ,are we that fickle or stupid that with all the good and bad going on around the world we have to let these mindless publicity seekers (the baloon guy is another ) invade the airwaves ?? Something has got to be done really !
