Airport Security Screeners Kill Cello

I haven't flown since 2001 because of these creeps. Apparently it was the bow, not the cello.

The most frightening things about that clip are

1. The video editor who inserted the Turkish terrorist scare story, and the ultra banal 'snap' nongag.
2. The script editor who inserted the 'I guess the TSA have a lot of enemies' unfunny nod to the right 'gag'.

I don't miss TV, not one jot.

How about this channel 'Loathsome Idiots Manipulate the Feeble Minded in Ways Which Cause the Adverts to Induce De-ja'. Be sure to tune in.

I don't blame you. In 2006, I was flying out of Dulles in DC. The TSA agent put my guitar through a machine which, after scanning it, would shoot the piece of luggage airborne several feet. I complained, and so the **** did it again just to piss me off.
