Security Theater of the Absurd

The Underwear Bomber flew to Detroit on Christmas Day. He had no luggage. he didn't have a winter coat. He bought a one-way ticket and paid cash for it (about three grand). He got to pretty much skate through, up until the point that he basically burned off his dick,

But the DHS Border Goons arrested Michael Yon at the Sea-Tac Airport because he refused to tell them how much money he made. When the real cops finally came on the scene, they let him go.

If the TSA were a movie, the guys at MST3K would be throwing popcorn at the screen.
