Next up–house keys will be forbidden on planes….

 Our TSA, in its grade-school level thinking, has decided that the plastic cat keychains are dangerous and thus are confiscated.  

You may have seen them (I have one on my keychain)–they have pointy ears and places for your fingers and are designed for self-defense, although putting a housekey through your fingers will do pretty much the same thing.

They amended a rule to put these keychains under the aegis of a brass knuckle.  Seriously.  Fucking idiots.

I’d like to point out that the TSA misses 95% of the test weapons at checkpoints, as stated in 2022.

This is despite the glowing headlines that try to convince the public that they are actually worth anything (hint, they are not and they do not make flying safer, IMO).

Perhaps if they weren’t so worried about my keychain or pens or the amount of shampoo that may fit in a quart size bag, they might actually be focused enough to actually be worth a shit.

But I doubt it.



  1. The one thing TSA agents are good for is raising monies from the sale of confiscated items. There is a government web site where box lots of the items are auctioned off. Want 50 Gerber knives, look no further. OutOfTime.
