Really, aforementioned TSA “blog” is a fucking riot. Check out today’s enlightened propag response to customers’ complaint about the liquid bans on airplanes. Simultaneously claiming that the preparation of these bombs is very much more complex than tossing together several bottles-worth of formula and lighting it up AND that even creative ways to smuggle liquids in are less effective because, eventually, they still have to mix it right and get it into the right container, Kip “Chip” “Chipz” Hawley nevertheless hilariously defends the TSA’s mindboggingly stupid laws on liquid bans. Read the comments though, they’re a real treat, ranging from the delicious:
How can the UK “plot” be considered a “very serious” one when the would-be conspirators had not procured tickets, passports (in some cases), and DID NOT HAVE A WORKABLE BINARY LIQUID EXPLOSIVE? The ban on liquids is precisely as sensible and necessary as is a ban on manticores or cyclopses; we know it, you know it, and it is a large part of why Americans do not take TSA at all seriously, and view airport screening as an unfunny joke.
to the unfunniest mess, worthy of the fucks over at Family Security Matters:
It is amazing to me that Pre-9/ll this manner of comments are still being made. This type of attitude is the very reason the government did nothing to thwart the threat because the public would be angry because of the “inconvenience” it would have caused them. Finally, the government does something preemptive to stop a serious threat and the public groans and complains. I guess America only wants more blood shed before they’ll be willing to put up with minor inconveniences when they fly.
Anyway, here’s an awesome, Phil-Spector-produced weird Leonard Cohen song also having to do not only with your little carry-on but also liquids, and it does it in ringing, vaudevillian style.
Leonard Cohen - Don’t Go Home With Your Hard-On
