Dr. Shackleford, of the legendary Jawa Report, reports that his entire family was singled out for security scrutiny on his way home to California for vacation.
Just before we boarded plane number 3 (yeah, it took 4 planes to get here) they pulled us off the boarding line to pat us down again. I’m talking the full search on us all, including tearing apart our diaper bag, swabbing our little portable DVD player and Barbie Princess and the Pauper video for bomb residue, and running the metal detector over our one-year old.
I’m thinking it was the flip-flops I was wearing. Or maybe the In-’n-Out Burger tee-shirt. Nothing says terrorist more than that.
This is how fucking idiotic our federalized TSA airport security has become. Thanks a bundle, President Junior. Your quick action of federalizing airport security after 9/11 is really paying dividends.
