Got a good chuckle watching last night's news. The TSA was at its best, doing the PR show. Full theater in effect.
A table-full of confiscated items, ranging from hammers, garden shears to toothpaste. Three TSAers in their freshly-pressed shirts standing behind the table, all with hands held behind their butt.
The DEN FSD posing for the cameras, explaining the 311 nonsense.
In the piece (and it really was a PIECE), the TSA says (through the reporter) they will be better staffed than ever.
Please.
The lines have grown LONGER at DIA than ever before since the WTMD were merged.
Here is the "report" if anyone wants to see it.

Wrong. TSA has no doubt spent billions hiring science experts from Halliburton, all graduates of the Kip Halwarts School of Alchemy and Irreproducible Results™.
"Remember my budding confiscation wizards, seven 3.00 oz bottles of water in a baggie are SAFE. ONE 3.50 oz bottle of water will blow up a 747 and half the cornfields in Iowa. For homework, practice your "Voluntary (sic) Separation Techniques" on every Ma and Pa Muggle you see."
