• I think it's time to stretch a certain Kenyan neck. Huh?!? What??!! No TSA officer, sir...it was just a joke...really!

• The Nazi bastards in DC that came up with this TSA "security" system ARE a joke. But heaven forbid if anyone points out this moronic system as a joke? Evidence the same sort of bullies that close parks and WWII monuments also work for TSA

• No pun intended but it's hard not to make fun of some TSA worker while they are looking you in the crotch searching for mythical bombs and guns.....I once asked "having fun down there?" and it got me a very stern look, until I explained I was a cop and the doofus TSA lady was doing the search all wrong...It didn't help when I offered to teach them how to do a pat down search the right way..I had a couple Sacramento County Sheriff Deputies give me a stern look too....TSA=ASSHOLES.

  • Are you looking to spend some time in the Ministry of Love?

• I don't mind being patted down by airport security, but I don't like it when the guy says, "Now you do me."

• Isn't there an airport with PRIVATE security that is doing extremely well in terms of time that it takes to get people through, actual secure in security and so and so forth? why hasn't this model been adopted nationwide already? What is the hold up?

• I am going to get into sooooooooo much trouble when I return to America.

  Of course, the way things are going, I might need to apply for refugee status here.

• Sorry to kill the fun, but this isn't something that just started. I've heard that announcement at the airport since the eighties. I worked at IAH, the airport in the story, from 86 to 99. The security checkpoints have also been wired for sound, input and output, for years. I made a wiseassed comment on the 'secure side' of the metal detectors back in 89 after going through security in STL. After walking about 15 feet away from security, a voice overhead said, "That wasn't very funny. Move along now." I've watched my mouth ever since that incident.

  • I wish I didn't know this. Now I will be seeing just how far I can push my luck next time I am in the airport.

    • The guy I was working with walked through with a key ring containing about 40+ keys. We were doing a temp assignment there all week. Each day the keys set off the alarm ( he intentionally messed with security, kind of a hobby for him ) except the last morning they didn't. My comment was, " Hey, your keys didn't trip the alarm today. They must have it set for .38's or larger."

      Yes JP, I've been google eyed like Karen Black ever since.

      • I walk through airport security all the time with my belt on. Once in a while the buckle sets off the alarm but mostly I get through. But I can never get into a certain courthouse I frequent. I've told them their scanner is better than the airport's and they're fascinated.

  • You watch your mouth? You must be very cross eyed.

  • You could probably get away with poking a little fun at the TSA if you make your joke in, say, Arabic, or maybe Spanish, since eavesdropping on Mu...er, Is...no, members of the most peacefulest religion ever or illeg...ah, undoc...um... non-traditional citizens, using those tongues would constitute profiling, at least in government-think.

• Does telling them that they are doing a pat frisk wrong fall under making fun of them? Would commenting in how much danger a person is in from the possibilities of a button flying off of a shirt that is being stretched to it maximum give?

  The TSA, just an inept version of the Brown Shirts or Gestapo. The Nazis did have some standards to be in these two units, the TSA just requires a pulse.

• Sounds like Quagmire is taking pointers from his pals in N. Korea. Better cry harder, or it's lead for breakfast.
