Perhaps the TSA has overlooked this potential terroist threat. Not being able to carry pen knifes on board a plane, some terroist cells are training animals to throw themselfs in front of airplanes.

These so called Suicide Elk must be stopped. Where will it end. Today its elk, tomorrow we could be seeing herds of elephants trampling down the runway wearing an Osama bin laden T-Shirt.

Now that the "random" gate checks are history, these ectra TSA folks could walk the runways looking for special trained suicide animals intent on destroying the american way.
