Finger-pointing Festival Ensues

Janet "you terrorist! [no, not you]" Incompetano is finally getting off the dime and taking steps!
Senior Homeland Security officials will meet with leaders at major airports in Africa, Asia, Europe, South America and the Middle East in the coming weeks “to review security procedures and technology being used to screen passengers on flights bound for the United States,” the department announced this afternoon. Napolitano said she would follow up on those meetings with her own “ministerial level” discussions.
“You guys fix it.” Wonder if she’ll toss in a nice bag of freshly printed cash, too?
Meanwhile,
[U.S. intelligence chief Admiral Dennis Blair] who is responsible for coordinating intelligence gathering between 16 agencies, has the full confidence of the president, aides are insisting.
Pack up, General—aides’ “insistence” of “full confidence” is generally the kiss of death. You been tagged.
I dunno—I think there’s a better way*: dietary profiling. Hand everyone boarding a plane a nice piece of bacon or a little ham sammich. Eat it—get on. Refuse? Buh-Bye.
Mebbe we could show this in the boarding lounge.
OR *clicky*clicky*
????!??? * I know I read this earlier—and was gonna link it [vs stealing it] but danged if I can find it now. If you saw it—or wrote it—please tip me in comments. My only excuse is a mild fever and the *sniffles*
Have the airlines announce that in the interest of increased passenger comfort, all the seats have been reupholstered with the finest Iowa pigskin leather.
We could get some well-known movie star with a deep baritone voice and a suitable accent to broadcast about the “rich Corinthian pigskin” (That’s Corinth, Iowa).
Also, instead of those tired old peanuts, hand out pork rinds. They’re actually quite good for you.
[I just picked Iowa put of a hat.]
