If I Weren't Laughing I'd Be Crying.

Airport security is stupid.  First a guy who was detained because he wrote something disparaging about Kip Hawley (TSA leader) on his bag.  He was told that his right to freedom of speech only applied outside of the security area.  Really?  What other rights am I stripped of in an airport terminal?

Next is an article about the no fly list and how stupid it is.  Gary Smith can't fly on a plane because his name is on the no fly list.  Why?  Because that's the fake name a terrorist used on his fraudulent documents.  A name chosen precisely because it was so common.

Luckily, Osama Bin Laden is on the list. So, if he ever tries to get on a plane with his Afghan driver's license, we'll know not to let him on.
