StumbleLetter: Airport security goes a little overboard
Monday, Aug. 14, 2006 | 7:28 a.m.
I am so comforted by the omnipresent news photos showing Kevlar-clad military and paramilitary personnel now fanning out at airports everywhere in the U.S., their automatic weapons at the ready, K-9 attack dogs by their sides.
These dudes have all been specially trained to take out a tube of Katusha hair gel at 200 meters, firing from the hip.
