Also by befouling as many copies of the Constitution as possible, and making it through life on the government dole. From cradle to grave, Comrade, the State keeps you employed.
Had the AVO in Hungary managed to last long enough, that would have been close to their "winning" strategy too.

Some of the customer reviews are pretty funny...

This game came out awhile ago. I remember playing it.
Unfortunately, the rules in the game still seem to be much more consistent than TSA's.

: "was a little disappointed when I first bought this item, because the functionality is limited. My 5 year old son pointed out that the passenger's shoes cannot be removed. Then, we placed a deadly fingernail file underneath the passenger's scarf, and neither the detector doorway nor the security wand picked it up. My son said "that's the worst security ever!". But it turned out to be okay, because when the passenger got on the Playmobil B757 and tried to hijack it, she was mobbed by a couple of other heroic passengers, who only sustained minor injuries in the scuffle, which were treated at the Playmobil Hospital." I still wouldn't pay $58.99 for it. I can get the treatment for free.*

I was so excited when I came across this Playmobil Security Check Point on Amazon. As an airline pilot, this is the perfect way to show my two girls, ages 8 and 4, where it is that I work.
My daughters have a ton of Playmobil people already, left over from the airplane and helicopter sets, as well as an airport terminal I've bought in an effort to show them that the only real career they'll ever enjoy must revolve around aviation.
So what better way to indoctrinate my little girls than with this security check-point.
We set up each of the 74 Playmobil figures and their baggage, and then positioned the pilots to cut right up at the front of the line. The girls loved that. And then I explained that crew members get special privileges and don't have to take their shoes off, which is fortunate, since the shoes on a Playmobil can't be removed.
We even made this video with a message that just wouldn't have been possible without the security check point. I think my girls finally get the idea. They're now begging me for flying lessons, and I suspect these kind of special privileges are the reason.

Since we have had several threads on this topic over the last year, we have now merged them and kept the name of the most descriptive of the bunch.
Just a heads-up.
