Penn & Teller Take On TSA
 

Can they make it disappear?

They're good. But I'm afraid they're not that good. :(

It's nice that they do this for their stage show but they really need to do it on their HBO Show 'Penn & Teller: ........' They'd get a wider audience.

(I'm still tickled that the name of a TV show is too risque for FT :D )

Although I don't particularly like the emphasis that "NCIS" puts on terrorism because I fear that too many people buy into in, we watched part of yesterday's "marathon" on USA.

Anyway, I got a good laugh out of a dig that was written into the script about the incompetency of the TSA in the last episode.

So many writers recognize that the TSA is a joke and make references to such in their books. In all the reading that I do, I don't recall ever seeing the TSA mentioned in a good light.

I have a book on my PC that shows an even worse TSA (along with the rest of the government). One where passengers are put in orange jumpsuits and shackled to the seats (there is no "First Class") and the way to avoid getting the rectal exam is to put $100 in the "tip jar". It was available on the web last I checked, I can go look for it if folks are truly interested.

The comments at the end of the article are rather telling.

I read a pop science book the other day which casually refers to them as the "shoe police."

Something the apologists can't admit, the fact that there ARE many other people than just contained in this forum that do not think of the TSA, or what it does, very favorably.

But we all wear tinfoil hats according to Blogdad Bob. :td:

Yeah, well, better than taking a nightly bath in Kool-Aid.

Still waiting for a U-Tube link for "Teller gets SPOTted" :eek:

^

Easier than accepting the truth that TSA is disfunctional.:D

Not me I am wearing tinfoil underwear.

And yes that is me modeling. :eek:
