And Now The Case Against Airport Body Scanners

Damn the underwear bomber!

First, he ruins airport security lines. And I love how the government refers to them as ‘check points’. Yup, we are now officially slaves. The old Soviet Union had check points. Iraq and Afghanistan have check points. Go to TSA’s website, and you’ll see the word ‘check point’ all over their pages. And while I’m on my rant, why the hell is it that http://tsa.gov doesn’t work? You actually have to include the www. Could they not fix their DNS record?

But most importantly, he has ruined our culinary experiences. According to the Wall Street Journal, the increased use of body scanners at airports has resulted in an alarming discovery. It turns out that many chefs smuggle quality salami, prosciutto and headcheese in their pants as they travel from Europe to the US. → source

Yum!

I think I’ll have a prosciutto and brie sandwich for lunch tomorrow. Email or comment if you want to join me.

One last side-note. Have you noticed that recent pictures of terrorists resemble those prepared for Social Networking sites? They all have new-age poses and slight sideway alignment. When did that trend start?
