Transportation Security Administration

So I recently flew to Tucson, Arizona. Beautiful place, check out a couple of my pics www.myspace.com/the_great_puma from the 5 hours free time I had while I was there. Anyhow, 5:30 AM Monday morning I just cleared security and sat down to put my shoes on at our wonderful local airport - Dayton International. I looked back toward security and noticed an old man maybe 75 years or so. He was being frisked and wanded. As he sat down one of our highly educated and exceptionally trained TSA agents found a full size tube of toothpaste in his carry on luggage! THE HORROR!

As I watched the TSA monkey pull it out of his bag I noticed it was maybe 2/3 to 3/4 empty. There couldn't have been more than 2 oz of toothpaste in it. However, this woman told the old man - "...see, the label says 9 oz. You cannot take this on board", and proceeded to throw his toothpaste in the trash.

This got me thinking about what a joke the TSA has become.

This country has spent billions on airport security to make sure they catch all the 75 year olds attempting to carry 2 oz of toothpaste onto the plane. Great Job Guys! No matter how hard we try, we can't keep weapons out of prisons. What makes you think we can keep them out of airports? It's time to end the US TSA charade, it's gone on long enough. It's overpriced and essentially worthless as we are no more secure now than we were on Sept. 10, 2001. Let's stop spending billions throwing away toothpaste and start thinking about how to solve the problem.

While I hate cell phone companies I don't quite feel sorry for this guy for two reasons:

1. Didn't completely understand what he was doing, nor what the iphone does, yet he owns three

2. He bought not one, but three overpriced pieces of hardware of which he probably uses .02% of its functionality


This quote says it all:



"They have periodic updates on their data files, and they translate into megabucks," Levy said. "This is akin to your bank having automatic access to your ATM machine and is siphoning money out during all times of the day and night without your knowledge."



No, Jay, it's really not like that at all. What it IS like is a moron with too much money and too little sense whining because he's not a properly informed consumer. No wait that's exactly what it IS. Boo f-ing Hoo. Pay your bill, shutup and appreciate the lesson learned.
