The TSA's a bunch of meanies.

I wrote this letter to the TSA tonight, as I had a little problem with them over the holidays. I'm hoping they do respond, and if so, I'll update here accordingly.

It isn’t often that I travel by air these days. I used to travel fairly frequently a few years ago - up to two or three times a month. However, due to a drop in business I have lost ( Read more... )

Wow, that's fucking ludicrous.

I'd demand the condoms back, just to see what they do.

Enjoying your time in Milwaukee?

I thought about demanding them back, but I'm more curious to see what, if anything, they decide to put on the plate. I'm wondering if they'll even go back to try and see if condoms were taken out because they were deemed dangerous. Nonetheless, if they did give me condoms back I wouldn't use 'em; the fundie government's likely to poke holes in them to prevent me from denying a baby having life, or something.

I'm back from Milwaukee now. I only had less than a day there before I had to head out to Madison for family things.

Well, it's obvious, really. You could easily transform those seemingly innocent jimmy hats into a potentially lethal water balloon grenade. Or maybe twist a couple into a balloon uzi. Our airways have to do what they can to protect us from the terrorist clown agenda.

While this is true, I believe they could confirm that I had no clowns in my checked luggage, and could safely assume that my condoms were not autonymous and therefore would not go apeshit on their own.

Also, just out of curiosity, have you ever TRIED to throw a condom water balloon? It's ungainly (and disturbingly slick), and therefore I demand the government revoke its stand on the safety of condoms in luggage!

I was genuinely surprised. I haven't had things taken by them in the past (or HAVE I?), so it was a wee bit depressing to see. I think the guy who took 'em rationalized it as "I'll only take half of them. He will think 'Now did I take two or four? Oh no matter, I'll just forget about it since I'm getting laid!'" As you can see, this person was wrong, wrong, wrong.
