(PSBS) TSA Announces new restrictions.
Washington, D.C. (PSBS) -- The Transportation Security Administration has announced more restrictions in the wake of yesterday's foiled terrorist plot. Citing the fact that the terrorists planned to use human beings as a part of their plot, the TSA has banned all human beings from airplanes. This new restriction will undoubtedly cause a number of inconveniences for travelers across the United States.

It remains unclear how the airplanes will fly as human beings have traditionally played an important part in airline travel. Kip Hawley, the Assistant Secretary of Homeland Security in charge of the TSA, assured PSBS upon contact that the delays would only be temporary and that passengers will still be able to put checked baggage aboard the airplanes.

1. About sums it up.

I've been in touch with several friends this a.m. summarizing the hassle of air travel--delays, cancellations, baggage doesn't arrive--and now the restriction that you can't bring a lipstick or a book on the aircraft!

It may be time to stay home--and insist that Bush/Cheney/and Co. travel only by commercial carrier from now on. When are Americans going to stop accepting onerous restrictions because of BushCo fucked up policies?

4. Well, if it was only for entertainment I would have posted it...
in the lounge. This is to make the point, "when does it stop?"
