Also, I don't think I've seen many fat TSO's though it'd still be funny.

Yeah, and add side profiles of some leading revolutionaries and great personalities resisting the u.s like Mr. Zarkawi, Che Guevara, Hugo Chavez, OBL, that HizbAllah guy, President Ahmad-e-Najad, etc. That should tick off a few of the pretend soldiers in the TSA.

Or create another one:
Kippy don't know chemistry or physics. But he pretends to...
(Kippy picking his nose might be a good design for this one.)

The only authority we have is what passangers give us, since if anything happens we call a cop, who actually has authority.

....and how many gave up 6 figure jobs after 9/11 to work for TSA.
On the other hand, you didn't say where the decimal point goes.

Threat level orange means all irony is suspened
While passing through PVD security this week, I was having my boarding pass re-re-re-checked by the TSA agent manning the conveyer at the X-Ray. He was wearing the standard TSA name tag, with just a first name and an ID number. His read "David 10402.
I said to him; I went to school with Peter 10402, are you related? He looked at me with a completely lifeless expression for a moment, then said; Oh, thats not really my name. Thats just my ID number.
Ahh I replied, realizing that my attempt at humor had missed its mark.
A few moments later, he said; Where?
Where, what?
Where was it that you went to school with Peter 10402?
No, I said, surprised that this was still rattling around in his head, I didnt really go to school with Peter 10402, that was a joke. I was joking. The blank look continued.
Oh, I thought you may have gone to some kind of military school where everyone goes by a number. Like prison, I thought.
I nodded and smiled, then went on with my trip safe in the knowledge that this crack staff will keep us save from toothpaste without any risk of distractions from irony.
