Steve Jobs Reportedly Stopped At Japanese Airport Over Shuriken [updated]

There’s around 95% chance that this is BS, but we’re covering it anyway, because it’s awesome. According to Japanese tabloid SPA!, Steve Jobs was stopped trying to board his own plane at Kansai International Airport, near Osaka, because he had shuriken in his luggage on the way back from a family vacation in Kyoto. Allegedly enraged by the incident, Jobs said “it wouldn’t make sense for a person to try to hijack his own plane,” and vowed never to return to Japan.

Yeah, there’s no way this is true. You know what? I love it anyway.

Update: Apple says it didn’t happen. Awww, that’s no fun.
