Can anyone help me figure out the motivation behind this? I'm baffled.
TSA in general, and Blogdad Bob in particular, have only tenuous connections with that state we call "reality".

An action so egregious there is even a

Of course conspiracy theorists will likely point out that doing so would cause more people to conform to the TSA's requests.
And given past experience, they would be right at a lot of airports.
Remember: Carrying Arabic language flash cards is an arrestable offense, according to the TSA and police in Philadelphia.
