The irony for the TSA is that the more technology they use to invade the privacy and (virtually) strip the dignity of their paymasters the less involved their so-called trained personnel. They are being reduced to George Jetson button-pushers (which is, of course, all they are qualified to do) and short of sirens and lights they simply aren’t paying attention - unless Granny brought that extra tube of Polident along.
TSA: “Oh! That is the type of gun I was supposed to be looking for.”
D’oh. They can’t find guns but they sure took me to the woodshed over a full-sized bottle of shampoo I accidentally threw in my carry-on bag.
These rules are so stupid. For instance, you’re only allowed to carry 4 oz of liquid. It’s only a matter of time before some muslim orders a vodka straight up and sets it on fire. The TSA will suddenly discover that alcohol is flammable and drinks will no longer be sold. Of course, the airlines will raise prices again to cover the huge loss.
Hey, We’re on booty call duty, to hell with findin guns./sarc
