TSA Threatens Travelers With Arrest For Making Fun of Them by Kit Lange on October 13, 2013
Vee haff vays of making you obey. In the video below, you can hear an announcement at one of the Houston airports threatening people with arrest if they make any “inappropriate remarks or jokes” about the security measures. While we all know it’s a tasteless idea to joke with the junk-grabbing Gestapo about the bomb in your pants while they’re touching your jimmy, this reaches a new low. How are we supposed to stand spending so much time stuck in the security line if we aren’t allowed to joke about the burger-flipper-turned-SuperPolice? How are we expected to deal with all the tyranny if we can’t make fun of the obese woman who points from her chair at us like Jabba the Hutt while screeching, “YO! You can’t HAVE dat!”?
More importantly, since when is it even acceptable for a bunch of clueless freaks in uniform to dictate to American citizens what they can and cannot say?
