5.0 out of 5 stars Makes losing your rights fun!, February 22, 2008

By	J. Chilton (United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

If you're a parent, then you've probably been struggling with how to teach your kids about how much fun it is to have your rights systematically stripped from you. Kids today always seem to be whining about freedom and their "Constitutional Right" to be free of warrantless search and seizure and their "right to privacy" (whatever that is). Teaching them to be afraid of "the terrists" and explaining that Islamofascists are a monolithic, unified entity with the sole goal of destroying America because they hate us for our freedoms, so we owe to it eliminate as many freedoms as possible, is really hard. And don't get me started on the times they say, "Daddy, you mean six ounces of liquid in one bottle can blow up a plane, but two three ounce bottles can't??"

Well, now there's a toy to help change all that. Kids can become familiar with the process of search and arbitrary seizure of dangerous items like toothpaste, soda, and aftershave (or TSA). The attention to detail on this toy is great. Notice the Homeland Security Threat Level Advisory glued to the side. See how tiny green and blue are? You'll never need them, because we live in an orange world. That's right, the terrists are right around the corner, maybe under your bed! This will keep a constant, low-level feeling of fear instilled in your kids, just like DHS wants!

For added fun, buy this toy with the TSA Officer Gloves McJellyfinger action figure.

1.0 out of 5 stars Indoctrinate your kids early!, February 24, 2008

By	luv2bparanoid - See all my reviews

I am so excited about this toy! It is VERY VERY important to keep our kids in the 'security mode' as much as possible. Even during their innocent play, let's be sure and remind them what a DANGEROUS world we live in. They'll soon get the hang of it. After playing with this fun screening toy, they'll soon welcome being treated as potential terrorists at the airport, and hey, everywhere else too! It's the patriotic thing to do!

1.0 out of 5 stars Sick toys for a sicker citizenry, May 15, 2008

By	steven "atoman" (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) - See all my reviews

NO STARS
Maybe the next version of this toy could include instructions on how to pat down your sister when the scanner light goes off;
or maybe include a battery operated taser if your brother acts up when you groin search him ('don't tase me bro' literally).
should come with sheep outfits for full playing enjoyment.
thumb scanner toys next?
how about kiddie tattoo kits for id'ing your playmates.
Who's idea was it for this toy anyway?????? Homeland Security????????????
