TSA Theme Song - Amusing WSJ Article
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.

(I believe password is required)
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.
To hear the song (I don't think you need a password):

My favorite was when they go:
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
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

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.
