Great to see Lena Dunham land on her trotters after a difficult election for her.

I think this is to make stealth muzzies self-identify at the airport..?

Really good idea.

“The muzzies are gonna love that.”

My first thought also. Imagine! The city of San Francisco committing a microagression-—or is it a hate crime? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

I don’t think they’ve thought this through...

(Pigs are very intelligent animals and make good pets, by the way. But I don’t think they’ll like being in an airport...)
