TSA Bans Underwear on Domestic Flights
It'd be funny if it weren't so believable.
"Following today's reports of a Yemen-based underwear bombing plot thwarted by CIA operatives, TSA officials have acted swiftly to ensure the safety of all American airline passengers.
Beginning tomorrow (May 8, 2012) at 7 a.m. EST, passengers will no longer be permitted to wear undergarments of any kind on all domestic flights originating from within the contiguous United States."
I'm glad that today it's satire. We need a laugh. Tomorrow, anything is possible.

Been doing that for years. But now I'm going to start wearing them again. Time to swing by the calvin klein store.

Of course, if you tell the screener you're "going commando" you'll be subject to a secondary and a chat with law enforcement.

Travellers attempting to enter the sterile area wearing prohibited panties face civil penalties of up to $11,000.
TSA says that this is one more layer of security in the ongoing War on Terror... Or perhaps one fewer layer...
