Ask the pilot

Propped up by a culture of fear, TSA has become a bureaucracy with too much power and little accountability. Where will the lunacy stop?

    GEE WHIZ YOU GUYS

    WE HAVE TO DO THIS BECAUSE OTHERWISE "ARAB TERRORISTS" WOULD BE ABLE TO MAGICALLY CAUSE SKYSCRAPERS TO COLLAPSE BY USING OUR AIRPLANES AND THEIR SCARY MAGIC CARPET HOODOO.

    Honestly. What won't you people put up with? Stop flying. The airlines will be safe when they're bankrupt and all that ancient Boeing steel is rusting somewhere, unused.

    As for TSA -- Christ, what won't you put up with? Facts don't affect them. They're drinking the Kool-Aid. Scary liquids over three ounces Must Be Confiscated?

    If you can't cattle-prod ("Taser") them for overt and willful stupidity and if it's illegal to shoot them to death for being fascistic morons, DON'T FLY.
