Anybody hear LeShow this weekend? in Tales of Airport Security
a woman said that when she was arranging to take her newborn in a plane she didn't have a birthcertificate yet had other documents from the federal gov't (soc security, etc.) the security person she called said that without the birth certificate it posed a security threat. Assuming that the threat was "baby smuggling" she pressed and asked why. The person told her that people could smuggle things inside dead babies that appeared to be sleeping and were kept warm with chemicals.

I'M NOT MAKING THIS UP!!! What is going on in the airports of this country!?!

1. I definitely shouldn't have clicked on this while I was eating lunch...
"people could smuggle things inside dead babies that appeared to be sleeping and were kept warm with chemicals."

That's gross. If this is true, I'd hate to think about how this bright idea came to be. :puke:

7. This bright idea came to be because...
...when it comes to greed and money, people are capable of every kind of evil.

2. It's a regular feature -- he's told many great "tales ."
Last week someone posted their story of a camp stove here in the Lounge, and when I read it my first thought was, "Somebody send that to Harry Shearer!"

4. See, this is what you get when Bush is in the white house.
The people in charge of making you safe are a bunch of brain damaged freaks. From the top on down.
