Two Times

My favorite news story lately is all the TSA drama. They are really a silly bunch. I am one of the billion people flying over Thanksgiving so I am currently facing the age-old debate, a healthy dose of radiation or going to second base with a stranger? Here are two fun stories about the new TSA regulations.

Most people hate babies on flights. Americans hate them because they're terrorists.

It's embarrassing and totally politically incorrect, but you have to admit you've done it. You're seated on a flight, start looking around, and your gaze stops at the 3-year-olds you come across, wondering whether or not they're potential hijackers. But fear not, concerned travelers. The Transportation Security Administration has got your back, demonstrating it's fully capable of giving pre-schoolers vigorous pat-downs to ensure they're not packing any WMDs underneath their pull-ups.



This is from the Consumerist. They are fantastic.

One tactic is apparently to expose, rather than to grope.

Listen, we know the TSA's been unpopular lately. But are they really so bad? What about this time a TSA screener pulled down a woman's blouse while frisking her? And then laughed about it? Yes. Yes, they are that bad.


From Gizmodo. Also fantastic.
