That Airport Security

Filed under: Morons,Terrorism — Patterico @ 12:14 pm



So you know how they make you take off your shoes at the airport. (Sometimes, that is.) Let’s say you’re an Egyptian guy and your shoes have tape around them and rubber bands sticking out of them. They are tested for explosives and the test comes back positive, five times. What will happen?

They’ll take your shoes, photograph them, take no photographs of you, and send you on your merry way.

How reassuring.

  1. Send in the clowns, and tell the surrender monkeys to get ready. They’re up next.

  2. Annie “Panic in the Skies” Jacobsen? Ha-ha.

    What was it that the guy who Patterico thought would make such a smart president said?

    Ah yes, “Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me–can’t get fooled again.”

  3. Let’s face it; many more Americans will die whenever the terrorists decide to attack. We can only hope that they attack the politically correct crowd who want to die rather than “racially profile” our enemies.

    Don’t worry. The blue states are the battleground of the war the red staters get so bloodthirsty for.

  5. I’m not sure race is relevant here; the other shoe bomber was after all French. I would think general competence would have detained this guy; his race is hardly relevant if his shoes are filled with explosives. It’s easy enough to screen all shoes, it’s not like the process is all that hard.
