You are kidding, right? This is just about the funniest thing ever, and it actually happened.

I can now see TSA/DHS having this room in the airport that they take the passenger too where a machine squeezes all the water out of the passenger. Problem solved.

Except in fairness to the TSA, this happened at LGW. Last time I checked, they don't employ the TSA :o

Moronicity: the caliber of mind displayed by one who chooses to work for an agency that has itself become a colossal joke.
