Jimmy swore up and down that he didn’t know that the magic 8 ball could do that. Unfortunately for him, the TSA agents were unable to hear him over the increasingly louder and more rapid beeping sounds made by said magic 8 ball. Within moments, Jimmy was on the ground with the weight of a TSA agent on his back and the cool steel of a handgun pressed to his neck.
“Don’t fucking move,” ordered a TSA agent. Another agent immediately followed up with, “I’ll blow your head off if you try anything.” As the magic 8 ball liked to say to him sometimes, for Jimmy, his outlook was not so good.
You shake the ball, it responds ‘ask again later’…
… except there is also now a blinking red led, which is blinking more and more rapidly.
Sounds like a great writing prompt.

Sounds like a thermal detonator……
