TSA Bans Flight If You Refuse To Show ID 734
mytrip notes a CNet blog entry on the recent TSA rule change banning flight to anyone who refuses to produce ID. It's OK if you claim to have lost or forgotten your ID — you undergo a pat-down and hand search of your carry-on bag and you're on your way. The new rule goes into effect June 21. "The change of rules seems to be a pretty obvious case of security theater. Real terrorists do not refuse to show ID. They claim to have lost their ID, or they use a fake. TSA's new rules only protect us from a non-existent breed of terrorists who are unable to lie."

Police in Laurel, Mississippi report receiving a call from a woman who told them she had been attacked by a band of elves. Investigating officers were dubious to begin with and the woman didn't help her credibility by pointing to a blank wall whenever she was talking about the window the alleged elves came through.
When one of the officers pointed out that there was no window where the woman kept pointing, she reportedly told them the elves had taken it with them.

It appears the TSA believes that if we just get rid of all those windows, no more elves, er, I mean terrorists will come through them!!

Next stop on the TSA security theater tour: force all passengers to jump up and down (in an isolated, reinforced concrete bunker) before boarding the plane. We'll get those nitroglycerin-wielding terrorists yet!
