Don't Fly If You Just Had Surgery!

Posted by Unknown on from the that's-a-nice-bomb-job dept.

mcgrew writes "The Chicago Tribune is reporting that the TSA is now worried about surgically implanted bombs. Are they trying to get everyone to stop flying entirely? I know there's no way they'd get me in an airliner these days. I'll drive, even though it is far, far more dangerous."

    I remember in the 80s, Sonny Bono himself managed to get a bomb onto a SPACE SHUTTLE without really needing to hide it anywhere! In fact, he bought it in the airport gift shop!

    I'm pretty sure it is a joke. Perhaps one of those "funny because it hits close to home" jokes, but still a joke. The TSA can't be using 1984 as a manual. Even in 1984, they didn't require people to assume a submissive position while being photographed naked.
