Some How, Some Way, The TSA Has Found A Way to Stupefy Americans Again
For many, the idea that the Transportation Security Administration could outdo themselves in terms of stupidity was itself stupefying.
We, as a nation, have been getting publicly groped at the airport for the better part of two decades. In that time, the blue-shirted goons of the TSA have captured exactly zero people on suspicion of terrorism. They have, however, been involved in a number of scandals; from the sharing of nude-esque x-ray scans of passengers, to the unseemly and grotesque perversions that have occurred during any number of their “enhanced” screenings.
Now, however, the unwavering imbecility of the organization has reared its ugly head once again, as the TSA announces that they are banning pointy-eared dogs from their ranks.
If you like creatures of the canine persuasion with pointed ears, such as German Shepherds, Belgian Malinois, or — gasp — corgis, get ready to say goodbye to them at an airport near you. (Okay, they don’t actually use corgis as security dogs).
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) will soon be moving to a “floppy ear” force, because dogs with pointed ears “scare children,” according to a reportfrom the Washington Examiner.
“We’ve made a conscious effort in TSA … to use floppy ear dogs,” TSA Administrator David Pekoske told reporters during a recent tour of operations at Washington Dulles International Airport.
The reasoning gets worse from there:
“We find the passenger acceptance of floppy ear dogs is just better. It presents just a little bit less of a concern,” Pekoske added. “Doesn’t scare children.”
Well, what’s going to happen the first time you guys actually find a terrorist and your friendly, suburban hound does nothing to deter them?
