Billions of dollars spent by the TSA, and yet we are not safe!

THIS IS AN OUTRAGE

An American Airlines flight made an unscheduled landing in Honolulu after pilots heard something skittering about in the wire-laden space over the cockpit. The airline blamed the emergency landing of the Tokyo-Dallas flight with 202 passengers on a stowaway squirrel.


"You do not want a varmint up in the wiring areas and what-have-you on an airplane. You don't want anything up there," said John Hotard, spokesman for the Ft. Worth, Texas-based airline. He said pilots feared the animal would chewed through wiring or cause other problems.




Why can't we stop suicide varmints at the borders? Write your congressman!

You guys are clearly overlooking the threat posed by what-have-yous.

Because the @#$^@$ liberals won't allow law enforcement to use profiling techniques to stop these critters before they strike. Might hurt their itty bitty feewings.

That's not true. We totally allowed profiling when it came to reptiles! The fact that the TSA can't come up with a good technique to distinguish mammals from each other is not our problem.

So I read the story and found out the sad news. That the squirrel was killed. So, now I will never get to read the squirrel's blog about his trip to Tokyo. Damn you, TSA!
