So, there’s your standard. Ban dangerous items that are easy to find, allow items that are difficult to find.
–Neal Boortz on the TSA banning lighters on airplanes
In what is perhaps the clearest example of why big government is big trouble, the TSA has banned lighters on airplanes. I am, of course, going to attempt to bring a lighter on now just to see if I can get away with it. Matches are NOT banned, of course, because the retards in Congress, including Democratic morons Byron Dorgan of North Dakota and Ron Wyden of Oregon, think this is a “commonsense step to protect passengers. . .” Right, and sewing my anus shut is a commonsense way to avoid the hassle of having to unload my body’s solid waste matter through my backside once or twice a day. Same kind of “logic” that got the Titanic sunk.
How long are we going to put up with these incredibly stupid leaders of ours? If you want real security on the damn plane, let anyone with formal weapons training carry a personal weapon onboard when they get on the plane.
Stop wasting taxpayers time and money with these bullshit rules that serve only your own self-interest, you goddamn self-serving pieces of shit who call yourselves public servants. If you can name one terrorist who has ever planned to take over the plane with a Bic lighter, I’ll drink a big glass of STFU and go away.
The real insult though, is how inept your federal screeners are. I know, because I test them every time I fly, and they fail EVERY TIME! The stuff you tell them is bad is not being detected 100% of the time, and it’s not being detected 50% of the time, in fact, I would bet money it gets caught less than 25% of the time.
So now I can’t carry my lighter on the plane, according to rules made by someone who couldn’t pass a college logic course. I can however, through the largesse of my retarded Congresspeople, still have up to four books of “non strike anywhere” matches. So, if I manage to sneak my incendiary device aboard, I’ll make sure I only bring up to four books of standard matches with me to accomplish my fiendish plot to blow up the airliner I’m on.
Fucking retards. When did we all lose our collective balls and decide to put up with this sort of inanity?
