Will People Ever Learn?

I think by now most people in the U.S. and around the world have heard that this country was attacked on September 11, 2001. And though it was more than 6 years ago I don't think too many people forgot. I also think most people know that after that happened some new rules were created to prevent people from bringing potentially dangerous items onto a plane. If you know nothing else, you know those two things. And even if you haven't flown in 6 years, if you're about to get on a flight, you should look into what you can and cannot bring on a plane.

So how do you explain this? These two pictures show items recently confiscated from passengers at Newark Airport in New Jersey.




I can understand the wine and the water. But nunchucks? Who brings nunchucks on a plane? A wrench? In your carry-on baggage? I think the assholes who had daggers and fake guns in their bags should have been taken off the line, strip searched and put on a terror watch list. I'm not kidding. If anyone is going to be harrassed by airport security it should be the assholes who bring weapons with them, not the people who happen to have beards and Muslim sounding last names.
Everyone complains about airport security but maybe if fewer assholes tried to sneak shit through lines wouldn't be so long for the rest of us.
