Fun With the TSA Guidelines!

Jun 20, 2008 01:00

From the helpful idiots guidelines at tsa.gov

Please keep in mind that these rules were developed after extensive research and understanding of current threats.
    Oh shit!  I heard someone on the Internet in another country may or may not have talked about making a bomb out of water!  Quick!  Cover your asses and confiscate the Starbucks!

We ask for your cooperation in the screening process by being prepared before you arrive. We also ask that you follow the guidelines above and try not to over-think these guidelines.
    Don't think real hard about how a terrorist would make a bomb out of four ounces of hair gel, but not two.  Just shut up and take your shoes off.

Please pack liquids, gels, and aerosols in your checked baggage even if you do not normally check a bag.
    It's very simple.  Put your liquids, gels and aerosols in the bag you're not taking!

The most common mistakes made at the checkpoint are listed below...
        Wearing bulky coats, sweaters and other items that make it difficult for the security officer to screen you properly.
      Californians, you'll be okay.  Vanouverites, you're going to be freezing your butts off.

3-1-1 applies to holiday items like perfume, after shave, lotions, salad dressing, salsa, creamy dips...
    Dude.  What kind of holiday do you celebrate with salad dressing and aftershave?

Avoid wearing clothing, jewelry or other accessories that contain metal when traveling through the security checkpoints:  

  • Clothing with metal buttons, snaps or studs

  • Metal hair barrettes or other hair decoration

  • Belt buckles

  • Under-wire bras
  • Hidden items such as body piercings
    You'll be going through the checkpoint with your shirt open, your hair a mess, holding your pants up, and with your boobs bouncing around.  It's like the Walk of Shame, but without all the sex.  Unless you want some additional screening, baby.  Awwwww yeah.

travel, dumbass
