Twice!

Airport underwear thieves!
Back in the olden days, they would have been the local "preverts" stealing underwear off the clothesline. Now they don't have to skulk around backyards - the underwear is handed to them in the form of checked luggage.

And Comrade Hawley no longer has to go to the peep shows. All he has to do now is watch video of the checkpoints to get his foot/shoe perversion jollies. I guess the downside is that he has to clean up after himself afterwards.

It's unfathomable and I honestly can't understand why NOW isn't protesting this. Has the world gone mad?!
Oh get real. What kindly grandmother would not gladly accept a little inconvenience and humiliation if it might save her grandchildren and millions of other children like them from dying in a terrorist attack? Puh-leeze.

My grandmother would have much higher odds of winning the lottery than experiencing a terrorist attack on a plane. Yet she's smart enough to know that her resources are better spent elsewhere than on things that have a miniscule chance of happening. I wish TSA were that smart.

Oh. I forgot. It's the old, "think of the children" ploy. :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

I believe that is true of all of us, not just your grandmother. But don't tell the TSA -- they might start strip-searching people who buy lottery tickets. I can see the restrictions now: "You can only buy a lottery ticket if you are purchasing less than 3oz of liquids at the same time." Helpful.

Nah. They'd just mandate people to buy lottery tickets ONLY in the sterile area. States will begin to implement an airport tax on lottery tickets for increased revnue thanks to this restriction. :D

Careful -- think of the fuel cost savings. Someone high up might like the idea. But I don't. The seats are nasty enough now. :(

People! Think of what sort of hazardous materials might be in the scratch-off goo. Surely that could be dangerous. It's for your own safety.

But like the water from Hudson News, scratchers should already be screened! So they HAVE to be safe. :D

I think the TSA would have to "rescreen" said tickets and if it is determined to be a winner, then the ticket must be confiscated.

Indeed. Think of the children exposed to these hazardous materials! :D
