Considering it’s quoted in the OP, I think you’d lose that bet.
It clearly says at the top of the website, “The World’s Finest News Source” - it must be legit!
Thank you for protecting our country from 30,000 foot terrorists. I’d shake your hand, but I know where it’s been, so I salute you.
Actually in this case, wouldn’t the balls be in the TSA agent’s hands?
[sub]And let’s not even mention the picture of the Queen flashing her bra to the world[/sub]
I saw a doctor on Tv talking about how the TSA could be spreading skin problems and diseases . If they don’t change gloves for every hand job they could be spreading some problems. I do not believe they change gloves after every one.
If you wear underwear I think you have a good chance of beating that problem.
Actually. They are training for a career, post retirement, as junk dealers.
But if I have to change my lifestyle that much, the terrorists will have already won!
There are plenty of claims of TSA checkers reaching down peoples underwear. Besides the crotch is not the only place you get skin problems.
Actually, I’d argue it is less believable.
In the Fox story, the jetpack itself is real; Fox & Friends’ mistake was the claim that the LAPD was buying them. That, too, is not patently unbelievable. The thing that should have made them think twice was buried in the details: that the LAPD was buying 10,000 jetpacks at $100,000 each. Only by doing the math that this claim implies do you reach the obviously unbelievable item: the LAPD is spending a billion dollars.
In contrast, the headline “Perverts Flocking to American Airports for TSA Groping” itself doesn’t ring true. We might imagine a story in which that was the thrust (no pun intended), but not a story with that as the headline. The headline itself, in other words, is the patently unbelievable item.
slinks away in shame
Only to those with less than fully developed critical thinking skills. For the rest of us, the notion of a police department flying around on jetpacks is ludicrous on the face of it.
Yeah. The cops here are way too fat.
That’s not a fair statement, any more than it would be to sneer at the notion of a police department zooming around on Segways.
In fact, many police departments use Segways as a mobility tool in certain circumstances. I’m not sure what, specifically, makes you say that it’s ludicrous on the face of it to imagine that a police department might have, or at least test, a similar role for jetpacks.
Can you explain why you feel it’s ludicrous on the face of it?
My local county sheriff’s office just spent $10 million in Homeland Security grants to equip the deputies with lasguns and plasma grenades.
Wait, there are actual jetpacks?
I want a jetpack!
(Thank y’all for saving my thread. You make my day.)
Yup, the video in the story is real; the false part was the claim that the LAPD is spending a thousand million dollars on them.
What’s all this about TSA agents getting jet packs? Now they’re going to fly all around the airport looking for people to grope?
Wait, so we can afford to spend 200 million dollars a DAY for Obama to party in India, but we can’t spare the cash for police jetpacks? Talk about priorities being out of whack.
