San Diego International Airport is sending in clowns from the Fern Street Circus to tickle the passengers’ funny bones, NBC reported.
“They are creating content inspired by the traveler experience, so they will constantly be visible, trying out new ideas and interacting with passengers,” said airport spokesman Jonathan Heller. “We certainly think they will be at the checkpoints often, as people waiting in line are a great audience for them!”

This clown and pony show really works. It changed the subject, from what is causing long TSA lines to “helping travelers” get through TSA.
Real journalists would have front page, 24 hr coverage - badgering the Sec’y of Transportation and head of Homeland Security why things have gotten so bad at the airports for the citizens under Obama? It is easier to get go over the US-MX border than for law abiding travelers to get through an airport, why?
.
How does one distinguish the clowns from the TSA agents?
“Then he laughed at me! A...hole!
—
Good lord,that’s dreadful——probably a Democrat.

This is all fine and dandy until travelers start beating the hell out of the clowns.
I was at some airport where they had a concert pianist playing a grand piano. That was kind of nice. Clowns, ponies and mines? Not so much
Clowns freak a lot of people out.
Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right....
I dread the possibility of lines, but we are all going with carry on bags. I'll try to post what happened regarding lines.
If my car stalled out at that spot I would go insane or die of fear.......
Yes it was awful and it did his profession (if you could call it that) no good!
Yes he was probably a democrat! A..hole!
Bwahahah! Now there's a scene right out of Airplane. It's true, though.
We must demand Safe Spaces for the Clown Afeared.
I’ll tell you what might go wrong.
I’d be the guy standing in line and along comes a pony and defecates on my shoe. Laughter would follow from everyone in line except me.
Which begs the question, who is cleaning up after the ponies?
“...sending in clowns....”
More clowns ... thought they had enough running the TSA ops ... and they didn’t seem to be entertaining the travelers!
Why not hire more TSA agents, then it won’t be an issue.
On Monday I flew out of Charlotte, not bad at all.
Will be coming back into the country through Philidelphia, can hardly wait.
SQUIRREL!
From http://www.ihateclowns.com/mystory/34-reasons-why-you-should-hate-clowns-too/
1. A clown wrote the original music and lyrics to (you guessed it) “Macarena.”
2. They are different than the rest of us.
3. They rhyme with frowns.
4. They have big feet.
5. See: The Seinfeld episode where George meets “Eddie” the clown.
6. They have a phobia named after them. (coulrophobia, more commonly known as clownophobia)
7. Jack Handy “Deep Thought”: To me, clowns aren’t funny. In fact, they’re kind of scary. I’ve wondered where this started and I think it goes back to the time I went to the circus, and a clown killed my dad.
8. Read the Stephen King book, “It”.
9. You know what they say, “Once a clown, always a clown.”
10. I sang a sad song about them.
11. See: The Animaniacs episode where Wakko meets the Jerry Lewis-like clown.
12. A clown stole my dad’s job.
13. I bet Paul Newman never played a clown character. (You gotta like Paul Newman)
14. A clown ate the dog that ate my homework. (And my professor wouldn’t believe me!)
15. See: The Bill Murray movie, “Quick Change.”
16. They don’t follow vehicle safety rules (20 in a car can’t be legal).
17. A clown wouldn’t make a good superhero. Ex: “Never fear, Clown-Man is here!” (See, it’s an oxymoronic phrase…not that I’m scared of clowns, mind you.)
18. See: Any episode of the Simpson’s featuring Krusty the Clown. (One word: seedy)
19. Clowns stink.
20. See: Any episode of In Living Color featuring Homey D. Clown. (One word: militant)
21. Clowns have to smile all the time. Repressing all their non-happy feelings can’t be good for them.
22. I have never seen a clown help an old lady across the street.
23. Another Jack Handy “Deep Thought”: You know what would make a good story? Something about a clown who makes people happy, but inside he’s real sad. Also, he has severe diarrhea.
Star Trek
24. Captain Kirk had to hate clowns.
25. Clowns made the tribbles.
26. Clowns shaved Captain Picard’s head.
27. The BORG is really a futuristic group of extra evil clowns. (I believe it’s the Bozo ORGanization.)
Star Wars
28. Darth Vader’s mangled face is really another mask. Under that he is really a clown (that’s the real secret.)
29. Boba Fett’s first bounty was to capture a clown pirate.
X-Files
30. The “Cigaratte Smoking Man” works part time as a clown. (That’s right–a clown killed JFK and MLK!)
31. Sculley was really abducted by a group of rogue clowns, trained as helicopter pilots.
Pulp Fiction
32. A clown was the one who scratched Vincent Vega’s car after he got it out of storage.
33. The briefcase: Yes, it was Marsellus Wallace’s clown suit inside. (He had to keep that out of the wrong hands. Would you want everyone to know you were a clown?)
Usual Suspects
34. Keyser Soze = the devil = a clown.
