I've long known TSA was a dog and pony show. I was wrong. It's a clown and pony show.

And what a fine idea it is, too. The one thing Americans fear more than a terrorist attack is ....wait for it...clowns.

Clowns and ponies at security checks. What could go wrong?

we stopped flying when the first Federal Gropers were deployed

(and they miss 97% of bombs in carry=on luggage, anyway)

they’re both useless and a terrible deprivation of our liberty

there are ways to reduce bomb threats, TSA has proven its not one of them

The LAST thing San Diego Airport needs is more stuff in it.
Poorly designed for modern TSA
Hope I never have to use it again.

Those crowded lines of people in the unsecured areas of the airport are tempting targets for terrorists. They don’t have to get a bomb on an airplane in order to kill hundreds of travelers.

Topless or scantily clad Waitresses bringing Cold Beers to folks would work much better

Interestingly, 'bringing in ponies and clowns' was apparently also Obama's plan for staffing his Cabinet positions...

Great. I’m in a 3 hour line, the last thing I want is clown screwing around with me. This is a step above Venezuela.
