Penn & Teller put airport security to the test

5/15/2009
By Harriet Baskas, special for USA TODAY

Like many travelers, the infamous, eccentric, libertarian-leaning magicians known as Penn & Teller have a gripe with airport security. "What really bothers us about the TSA is not the men and women employed there," says Penn Jillette, the taller, more talkative (at least on stage) member of the performance team. "We're just against the idea of people allowing themselves to give up freedoms when confronted with fear."

They had a bit about airport security, complete with a metal detector. Another guy got a copy of the Bill of Rights on a metal card, the joke being that P&T would go through security with only that in their pockets, so that the Bill of Rights itself sets off the detector.

Thanks for the thoughts, all. I'll definitely mail it.
