Yeah, and if a TSO answered in the affirmative, then the next response from somebody would be, "Oh, so let's just dress Osama up like a 5 year old and give him a Sponge Bob backpack, he'll get right through the "security circus".
Ha, ha, ha....
Heh.
Given the fact that insurgents have started using mentally retarded individuals as human bombs in Afghanistan and Iraq I'm not surprised that the TSA hasnt been lenient on this... And no I'm not touching the whole politics behind that but I just wanted to mention its not as simple as the complainers and naysayers would like us to believe.
