Keeping America Safe (Kinda Brings a Tear to Your Eye)

.
My wife left to visit her sister in Missouri this morning. On her way through Homeland Stupidity, she was told she could not carry her toothpaste on the plane. The toothpaste was in a 4.6 oz container, but was more than half EMPTY, leaving her with about 2 oz. of toothpaste. The container was clear and this was obvious. Since the limit is 3 oz, I told her she should be able to take it, since any idiot could see it wasn’t 3 oz. But the brave, non-producing tax-eater would have none of that.

My wife, a 53 year-old grandmother of nine, asked, “it’s half empty, why are you taking it?” Answer: “We don’t know what’s in it.” My wife: “Um… toothpaste?”

I know the people in the TSA needed jobs after they got fired from McDonald’s. Our compassionate government made sure that they were employed and secured the money (from actual productive people) to make it happen. Now we can all be proud that they are keeping America safe from toothpaste. And grandmothers.
