Don't Fly If You Just Had Surgery!

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."

The TSA operation manual is actually Nineteen Eighty-Four.
Whoever mods me Funny, please don't. It's not a joke.

We reinforced the cabin doors, and that's all we ever needed to do to prevent another 9/11
But such a simple solution won't make companies any money. And you know it's all about making companies money these days. Especially when the top administrators can get a kickback in the form of a high-paying lobbying job once they quit the TSA.

Tell me that 9/11 isn't just a cheap ripoff of a comic book from 1986.
No, as a matter of fact it was a rip-off of a novel by Tom Clancy (read the last paragraph of the plot summary).
