Has a Federal Agency every been mocked more brutally than the TSA on South Park? The "Toilet Security Administration"? "Sir, I need to check your asshole."
I wonder what Blogger Bob has to say about this. Me, I think this is unspinnable, but I'm dying to get his take on it. I expect his explanation will be dazzling.
I loooooooved this episode, but I fear greatly for the state of Trey Parker/Matt Stone's orifices the next time they fly!
ReplyDeleteMore brutally? Probably.
ReplyDeleteMore deservedly? Definitely not.
Does Blogger Bob have a table that shows exactly how many terror plots TSA has foiled? Does he have a table showing how many TSA agents have been convicted of stealing from passenger's luggage? How about their MPMs (Molestations per Minute)?

Blogger Bob loves to talk about all the guns they find all the time, as if every one saved a life or something, then admits that most of them are carryed by licensed non-criminals who just forgot it was in their bag. The fact is, I'd feel more comfortable on a plane where passengers are allowed to carry guns than I do now.
ReplyDeleteThe worst part of it all is that the TSA is worthless now that cockpit doors have been hardened. The old, pre-2001 security details would work just fine - a metal detector, an explosives sniffer, and have a nice day, sir.
As long as the terrorists can't get into the cockpit, it will take about no time flat for every able-bodied male on board to mob them into submission, and the story is over. How, exactly, do we need the TSA again?
I guess my point is that with all the enhanced safety BS the TSA is doing while infringing on our rights, is BLogger Bob really trying to convince me that nudie scanners and enhanced pat-downs are what is finding these guns?
ReplyDeleteNo, of course not. The metal detectors do that. The old-school ones that we've had in airports since the 1970s. I have yet to read of a single incident where the nudie scanners or enhanced pat-downs have found anything other than an old man's colostomy bag and an old lady's adult diaper.
