"No Brains Required to Work Here"; TSA Edition

Indeed, a functioning cortex is probably a detriment for employment with the TSA.
Vanessa Gibbs, 17, said officials with the Transportation Security Administration at Norfolk International Airport stopped her during a security screening because they said her handbag -- which has the shape of a gun designed on it -- was as a security risk, WJXT-TV reported.
This is the purse that so freaked out the TSA:


Does the TSA work hard at recruiting people who apparently were shitcanned from being school administrators?

Meanwhile, the TSA is strip-searching women in their upper 80s at JFK Airport because of the terrorist threat posed by great-grandmothers.

(John Richardson has a good idea.)

  1. I insist we only pay TSA agents in Monopoly money from now on. Looks like money. Made of paper. Good enough for them, right?

  3. Hey, hey, go easy on those poor TSA agents! If they were rocket scientists, they wouldn't be feeling people up for a living.

    Although come to think of it, in this economy maybe they would.

  4. If there was a God that steps into human affairs, the contents of her colostomy bag would have been emptied on the heads of the screener, his section head, their manager and everyone on up the management chain of the TSA.

    Alas, he lets us sort it out, to our redemption or downfall. That's the bargain, I've long thought, of free will: the world is an educational institution for the slow learners, the morally challenged, the ethically fearful.
