2006 Travel Villain: Kip Hawley
Jaunted Article
"Hawley is trying to do a very important job, and a tough one at that. "Trying" being the operative word there. The TSA chief attracted the contempt of many a frequent traveler this year, and no Travel Villain made an impact in 2006 like he did. The TSA's ban on carry-on gels & liquids (later morphed into the "3-1-1" zip-top baggie rule) invented ridiculosity-as-fine art. Mustard packets do not bring down 747s. And don't even get us started on Kip & crew's No Fly List."
And to think he beat out Osama Bin Laden, Mullah Omar, Richard Reid, and so many other seeming-fine qualified candidates... Nah, it's no surprise. Comrade Hawley personifies the phrase "domestic terrorism".
