Send In The Clowns…Don’t Bother, They’re Here

On Tuesday, November 2, 2010 (hmmm, Election Day?) Sheila Jackson-Lee and Bennie Thompson (D-MS) penned a memo to Gene Dodaro at the General Accounting Office in which they expressed their concerns over…..

 

shipments of shrink wrapped printer toner cartridges.

Within four business days Continental Airlines had this IMPORTANT NOTICE on their website. WOW! That was fast.

When I saw the red IMPORTANT NOTICES section on the Continental website I thought the link would take me to information about the new “enhanced security protocols” at Bush Intercontinental Airport.

Turns out the important notice is …WAIT FOR IT!

Effective November 8, 2010 passengers are prohibited from transporting printer toner cartridges in either carryon or checked baggage.

I don’t know about you but my last cruise vacation was totally RUINED because I left my 16–ounce printer cartridge at home.

I thought that you’d want what I want, sorry my dear.

On November 15th Bennie and Sheila wrote this letter to Janet Napolitano asking for “input from critical industry stakeholders that are on the front lines of aviation security”

The NEXT Day (November 16th) we learned the TSA opened an investigation into John Tyner.

And today November 19th!

Extra! Extra! From the House Homeland Security website.

Isn’t it rich? Are we a pair?

TSA is implementing the security, passenger and cargo screening procedures that Sheila Jackson Lee and Bennie Thompson have told them to implement.

Send in the clowns?

Don’t bother, they’re here.
