I just couldn't pass this little tidbit up...
While purusing the TSA website, I stumbled upon the section on service animals. Low and behold, my eye caught sight of "Service Monkey" and my keyboard subsequently became covered in spewed diet Coke!

Yep, Service Monkeys are allowed onboard the aircraft! My mind immediately recalled the Clint Eastwood co-star in "Any Which Way But Loose"....
"Right Turn Clyde!"
Or, the extensively internet distributed Suburban Auto "Trunk Monkey" commercials.
Let's see -- could we train a Service Monkey to interact with the TSO "Blue Shirts"? It dosen't state a size or species limitation on the Service Monkey -- so an Orangutan should be acceptable. I can just just see it now
"Sensitive Area Clyde!", during the grope session...when they decide his diaper needs further screening! ^
