Atlanta’s airport, including MARTA rail service, was shut down for nearly half an hour Friday morning because of a toothbrush.
Airport officials told Channel 2 Action News that an electric toothbrush began vibrating inside a bag checked onto an AirTran flight, causing workers to alert airport officials to the strange noise.

This isn't funny. This could have been one of the new VibroBombs. Terrorists place them in the Cargo Hold. They vibrate until all the planes rivets work loose. The Wings then fall off of the plane in flight.
TSA is now training Bats to listen for these dreaded new devices. The only drawback is getting the Bats to walk on leashes.

Next up: All electric toothbrushes must be taken out of your bag and placed in a separate bin. Oh, as for checked bags, electric toothbrushes are now on the restricted items list...sorry folks!
It was all part of a complex plan masterminded by a vast network of Al Qaeda dental hygienists.
The terror plot involved preventing innocent Americans from brushing their teeth, thereby leading to dental caries, periodontitis, pericarditis, sepsis, and death.
By banning electric toothbrushes and limiting quantities of toothpaste to 3.4 ounces, they're "killing us softly."
Once again, the TSA's many "layers" of genius have exposed what could have been an unfluoridated bloodbath.
I've already sent a "thank you" to all of the thoughtful, under-reacting staff in Atlanta, who exercised "an abundance of caution." Those evildoers are going to have a "brush with the law" when they get caught!

The composite construction of B-787 is a counter to the latest Vibrobomb threat. All airlines will be forced to retired rivet based construction airplanes and update their fleet to modern VibroBomb resistant aircraft. TSA is once again taking credit for making aviation safe.

No, no, I know what caused this!
Some TSO has been watching documentaries about WWII on the Discovery or History channel, and he remembered how much devastation was brought to the people of London during the Blitz by Buzz Bombs...
It was an electronic device and they MUST be turned off. Planes could have started falling from the sky! The offending pax will be hunted down and fined!!
Thank you TSA for protecting pax, once again!!! NOT
In addition to my electric shaver, I have (as a backup) a battery operated shaver, which on several occasions, has started vibrating--fortunately I caught it in time.
Location: Um...I don't remember. I need to check my boarding pass.

You're right, this isn't funny, since I was on a Marta train heading to the airport this morning to catch a bus over to work.
Had the crack staff of clerks not quickly detected and fixed this threat, I would have been diverted to another stop, have to take an extra bus and miss a meeting.
Oh thank you TSA for you're amazing greatness to almost interrupt my morning routine but then save it! Huzzah!

So now the TSA is defending us from, of all evil things, good dental practices!! Maybe dentists should set up nearby since people will need more assistance. You can always tell your dentist the TSA prohibits you from proper dental care!!
