With all those Osma and Taliban jokes floating around freely on the net and otherwise, it doesn`t come as a surprise when someone tried them on the Americans. And Preity Zinta did exactly that.

The chirpy lady was in a jocular mood and when she recently went to he US she was being cross-examined by the security officer at the airport. When he enquired about what was in her baggage, she found it very funny and immediately replied, "I don`t remember if there was a bomb in my bag!" Not the officer didn`t at all take the remark lightly and as a sign of his disapproval, made the pretty lady wait for a long time before she could catch her flight - to the extent that she almost missed it.

We doubt Preity is gonna crack one of those Osama jokes for a long time to come - at least when she`s in Uncle Sam`s country!
