Well, you're pretty much screwed out of any future employment with the DHS or TSA. Stop pointing these things out.

It only took three-and-a-half years for our government to react to an incident.

You're correct on what you said, but we can still bring along safety matches.

The TSA said this morning in a CNN report that it is evaluating that portion of the topic at hand, and is seeking public input to it. And if you believe that, I have some shoes you can wear through a US airport WTMD.
