\"Airport<\/a><\/p>\n

As I was standing in line for security screening at a flight, I began to think about how ridiculous so much of airport security is.<\/p>\n

I decided that if I were rich and bored it would be fun to buy thousands of nail clippers and stuff them into my suitcase. I suppose it would look like solid metal when the machine scanned it, and so a physical inspection would be required.<\/p>\n

I imagine the TSA agents unzipping the suitcase and gazing upon countless nail clippers. At first they would be puzzled. Then, slowly, comprehension would dawn.

And then I would use my rich person magic to make the charges against me go away.<\/p>\n
