Attack fish?

Posted by Ben on December 30th, 2003

This one’s straight out of the “only in New York City” and “government intelligence” departments. Read it here:

Osama “Fin” Laden is a threat to national security (link from Pittsburgh Post-Gazette)

Nice to see my tax dollars are well spent, as usual.

Of course, frequent readers of my site probably know how much I “love” the TSA in certain airports. This guy manges to make the Syracuse folks actually appear competent! Idiots and authority are really a dangerous mix. Seriously, if you think a small fish poses any kind of threat to aviation security, you have no business working in aviation security. You shouldn’t even be working as a mall rent-a-cop. I’d be hesitant if you were the one asking me if I wanted to Super-Size my lunch.

At least the story had a happy ending - the fish was smuggled through security and survived its trip. Three cheers for people who fight the system…
