Hey you kids!! Get off my lawn!!!

They keep making this eternal vigilance thing harder and harder.  Protecting the 2nd amendment is like playing PACMAN - there's no pause button so you can go to the bathroom.

The freaking Columbians are training rats to sniff out landmines and we can't do something like that to sniff out explosives at airports?  :facepalm:
Good thing the TSA wants to see me naked.  I've got something great planned for the next time I fly.

Yeah, any they could probably train the rats that already live there.

Heck, I'd rather see a few of these guys at every check point than the porno-scope, especially if they were cutened up by regular baths, a collar with a bell, etc.

The rats are a little less objectionable - better understanding of the concept of "personal space".  And they won't be wearing the blue cop-wannabe shirts and tin badges.

Honestly, if it was a well trained explosive sniffing rat this is one of the cases where literally, if you aren't doing anything wrong...

One of them has been trained to perform a useful task that has been proved to save lives and the other is vermin in blue uniforms.

You first distract them with nubile young ladies with bodices cut down to beyond "there" and skirts pretending to be kilts so short that they often do not reach to the other "there".  Then you add in the free stout and samplings from the whisky tent.  And lots of bagpipes.

Just great. Trained intelligent rats coked up and probably paranoid with access to explosives.


Lets get this party started!

Is RevDisk in need of a pet or 20?  I suspect he is sadly minion-free at this point.
