Kip Hawley IS an Idiot

The story, which is detailed in a rapidly-growing thread on a discussion forum catering to frequent flyers, has attracted the interest of the ACLU, an AP reporter, and many others. The incident raises a number of interesting questions and concerns regarding just where our rights end."




PS. "Kip" is the head of the TSA.

Police state, much?

So what did Kip Hawley do here that has you validating he is an idiot?

When is the last time you were on an airplane?

However I know you like specifics...

His workers think they are above the constitution. Of course he gets that from our president so perhaps I can't blame him directly.

His policies do little or nothing to keep us safe

He's a major player in the "fear" nation our current government likes to foster.

I mean really, just look at the guy...

Was the message written in toothpaste or hair gel or any other banned liquid?

I was al set to bicker with you but after I typed out a longish response but before hitting submit I got a call for a phone interview for a job I really want. So now I'm happy and not in the mood for bickering.

So I concede on all points.

Fair enough, but in preparation can you send me a photograph of yourself so I can use it to determine how big a moron you are?
