line o’ the day: BoingBoing on TWAT

from guess where:

The terrorists hate our freedom, so by eliminating the freedom, we can stop the terrorists from hating us.

The whole post:

RyanAir, the discount airline that’s threatened to RyanAir nekkids!sue the UK government over new security procedures has posted this provocative image to its website: a crowd of naked people running away from their piled-up clothes, with the caption “New Airport Security Procedures Put the Fun Back Into Flying.”

They’re onto something here. If the existence of a plot to use implausible liquid explosives against aircraft creates a global war on moisture at the airports, imagine what a similar plot to smuggle a bomb up a terrorist’s ass would engender. The war on moisture is bad, but it’s nothing compared to the inevitable war on body cavities.

The terrorists hate our freedom, so by eliminating the freedom, we can stop the terrorists from hating us. Link (Thanks, Michael!)

Update: Eileen sez, ” Looks like the outtake from a Spencer Tunick photo shoot.”

Sure, this is a publicity stunt by RyanAir, but I can think of worse targets. If safety were really an issue, I’d be the last person to have a problem with this. I’m always the one rolling my eyes at the brain-dead whiners who complain about de-icing. But the ridiculous TWAT measures are nothing more than a sophisticated way in training us to take crap from people in uniform, believing all the while that it’s for our own protection.

It’s not. It’s for theirs.
