TSA Theme Song - Amusing WSJ Article

Today in the online edition of the WSJ, there's an amusing article about a song a group of lawyers wrote about the flying process.

Blurb:
Randy Babbitt, president of Eclat Consulting, played a very clever rewrite of "Leaving on a Jet Plane" at a conference he helped organize last week, and sent me a copy. It's by a group of Austin, Texas, lawyers called the Bar & Grill Singers, who rewrote the lyrics written by John Denver and recorded by Peter, Paul & Mary to sum up many of the frustrations of today's travel experience:

So frisk me to check for clues.
Tell me to take off my shoes.
Touch me, ask me what you need to know.
'Cuz I'm leaving on a jet plane….


To hear the song (I don't think you need a password):

My favorite was when they go:
Now it's time unless they're lyin'
One more line and I'll be flyin'
A random search and I'll be on my way
At the gate what's this I see?
My airline declared bankruptcy
