I know I'll sleep better tonight, secure in the knowledge that the feds are on the ball.

I think Maniac Tickler should be on their watch list. He's already told us he has a darkish complexion, and on top of that he has fantasies of passing gas in the face of the President.

They do seem to be incompetent morons, don't they?

This is the same list that used to have newborn babies and cartoon characters on it. I really think that the people who make these lists up are doing like 3 hits of acid right before they start.

But....if you think about it...really....couldn't a terrorist just drive across the country? I mean, really...if I were a terrorist, I'd be poisoning apples along the road.

Isn't the same bunch that all but breaks out the rubber glove on everyday American citizens boarding domestic flights, but couldn't stop the goddamn UNDERWEAR BOMBER? You know, because we have to treat Americans at American airports like they're fuckin' criminals, but we shouldn't do something crazy like RESCREEN PEOPLE WHO TRANSFER ONTO FLIGHTS BOUND FOR AMERICA FROM FLIGHTS THAT ORIGINATE IN NATIONS KNOWN TO HARBOR TERRORISTS.

Sometimes the government makes me want to go and smash things with my head.

Yeah, that about sums it up.

I long ago came to the conclusion that TSA is filled with people who couldn't get a job anywhere else.

This is, of course, silly, but it did happen. It seems to me, though, that there is a way of getting a clearance from Homeland Security if your name resembles that of someone they're concerned about. They clear you, give you a number to use on airline bookings and no more problem. It is important to protect the country, not from a six year old girl from Ohio, but certainly from some terrorist with a similar name. I expect that was the problem here.

When I was about her age 6 year old girls were very apt to carry cooties. I would't want to catch cooties on a flight Damn it! Job well done.

6 Year olds are impressionable. You never know who these young tots are talking to these days.. A bunch of little ticking time bombs!

Glad to know my tax dollars are being put to good use and paying the salaries of such brilliant federal employees. Check out the video below on this issue. ABC did a report on it and some of the other individuals that have found themselves on the list. Just makes you go
