Because the idiots at the TSA couldn’t screen out a Muslim with explosives in his pants, air travelers last hour before arriving are a lot more uncomfortable now:
2. Passenger access to carry-on baggage is prohibited beginning 1 hour prior to arrival at destination.
3. Disable aircraft-integrated passenger communications systems and services (phone, internet access services, live television programming, global positioning systems) prior to boarding and during all phases of flight.
4. While over U.S. airspace, flight crew may not make any announcement to passengers concerning flight path or position over cities or landmarks.
5. Passengers may not have any blankets, pillows, or personal belongings on the lap beginning 1 hour prior to arrival at destination.
So for a whole hour, I’ll get to meditate on HOW STUPID the TSA is.
Frankly, I predict passenger mutiny when some unfortunate air crew tries to enforce these obviously silly rules.
Coming next…. passengers banned from air travel.
Is it too much to ask, to OBVIOUS to ask, that they just have a special line for Muslims? It would lead to a Greyhound bus?
BTW: Will our new healthcare bureaucracy be different from the TSA?

What happens if grandma gets in line wearing an old poodle skirt and a 1950′s scarf (or bandana as they were sometimes called)? She sure looks like a muzzie!

Well, the last one-off clown who tried this caused us to have to remove our shoes. The obvious solution is that we all strip naked in the line. As it now stands, Grannie is getting cavity searched in a back room while Achmed strolls right on to the plane.
