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

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.

Is your gene pool too full of piss for your kids to do anything but pat down citizens and act like the gestapo when they grow up? Or perhaps you just want to condition them to a life full of unnecessary invasions of privacy. If so then this is the toy for them.

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????????????
