Homeland Security Continues Its Fine Work

Posted on August 17, 2005 by Michael Froomkin

It's those wacky folks at homeland security again: freezing the assets of a puppeteering club (they dared to change bank branches! the temerity!).

But that's really OK, because there are not going to be so many children flying around to see puppets — you see, there are babies on the no-fly list.

Oddly, some people don't see the humor in the TSA randomly preventing Americans from moving about freely in their own country.

    While they are going to allow passengers to have nail scissors and pocketknives, the TSA geniuses also want to allow ice picks, throwing stars and bows and arrows on flights.
