Today in the online edition of the WSJ, there's an amusing article about a song a group of lawyers wrote about the flying process.

Blurb:
Randy Babbitt, president of Eclat Consulting, played a very clever rewrite of "Leaving on a Jet Plane" at a conference he helped organize last week, and sent me a copy. It's by a group of Austin, Texas, lawyers called the Bar & Grill Singers, who rewrote the lyrics written by John Denver and recorded by Peter, Paul & Mary to sum up many of the frustrations of today's travel experience:
So frisk me to check for clues.
Tell me to take off my shoes.
Touch me, ask me what you need to know.
'Cuz I'm leaving on a jet plane.

Now it's time unless they're lyin'
One more line and I'll be flyin'
A random search and I'll be on my way
At the gate what's this I see?
My airline declared bankruptcy

Read the article this morning...but missed the audio link! Good stuff.
Someone posted a link to this song in a thread a couple of weeks ago at least. Pretty funny the the WSJ picked up on this amusing song!. 
Maybe the TSA needs its own anthem to be used as an internal morale-building sort of thing (like the Marines, Navy, etc., have).
I think the worst of those I've ever heard was "Waffle House family." Waitresses there used to get really annoyed when you'd play that on the jukebox.
