Not the Sharpest in the Drawer

They've got a tight budget and morale problems over at the Transportation Security Administration. How do they deal with it?

How about letting sharp objects back on airliners?

The TSA proposes to let people carry scissors and other potential weapons onto flights.

Seems the TSA folks are upset that they find sharp objects in one in every four bags they check. The change would mean they wouldn't have to deal with that anymore -- pretty much what they were created to stop.

They want to spend more time looking for explosives -- since we all know it was explosives the 9/11 terrorists used to hijack airplanes, right?

The 9/11 hijackers are believed to have used boxcutters to take control of four airliners -- just in case your computer's sarcasm mode is disabled. (WashPost)
