Space tourists must be screened to ensure they are not terrorists, according to proposed regulations from the US Federal Aviation Administration.

1. Lemme guess...

They'll also be forced to remove their shoes when going through security, and won't be able to carry nail clippers.

2. Are you sure that's not the Onion?

My head is about to explode, that's LMFAO funny.

3. The point is all about the color of the skin ...

Bottom Line Up Front:

There's lots and lots of $$$ out there "beyond the pale" in them "brown (skin) states"
... and they hate us for our freedoms !!

god (ahem, well probably not allah) forfend if the space tourism business is inundated by ultra-rich terrorism backers who spend "ONE MILLION DOLLARS" to buy a ticket for a "brown skin hijacker" to have them use a bag of potatoe chips as a weapon to take over the space plane!! And we thought Nail Clippers were DANGEROUS!!

You see they have been using those trillions of dollars allocated to Homeland Defencing in researching -- no one had ever thought of planes crashing into buildings which allowed them dirty terrahists do their dirty deeds!

So they've made sure to cover for ANY CONTINGENCY!! Somewhere in there they came across an actual simulation of an attack on a space plane! SOMEONE HAD THOUGHT OF IT!!!

Even better, it showed how a "Space Marshall" could stop the attack and save America!!

The codename for this excercise was something like "Vigilant Guardian" or "Deep Space Homer" or "Suckerborn Everyminute"... I'm not sure atm.

Assumedly, several billion dollars were spent on this exercise, to keep america safe!

Fortunately I've found an picture!! Here's the TerowRists doing their evil axis acts on the Space Plane!

The skin color in this picture does seem a little off though...

4. Is that Homer there as the Space Marshall?

He certainly is doing a heck of a fine job in the pic.

6. Aren't all tourists "spaced." It's part of the whole relaxation paradigm.

I'll bet there is no smoking or other fooling around in the bathroom of this spaceship.

What's the fear. "This is the pilot. We've had a little change in itinerary. We'll be headed for Mars."

One exception in our revelry. If this guy shows up, he should be arrested immediately.
