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

Blatant social-engineering, designed to inculcate/bind our children through play.

But the depths of this collective ruling depravity are almost inconceivable: Humanity is being shaped and culled like a herd of cattle in the direction towards two castes of humans: power-elite, and inculcated, retarded, subservient workers. Not much room for the individual liberty message here:

"Gradually...the congenital differences between rulers and ruled will increase until they become almost different species. A revolt of the plebs would become as unthinkable as an organized insurrection of sheep against the practice of eating mutton."

From 1953, `The Impact of Science on Society' by Lord Bertrand Russell, noted Fabian Scientist/Socialist/Mind-twister.

This "War on _____" (insert psyop flavor of the decade, ie.drugs, terror etc...) are instrumental in the erosion of our civil liberties for the creation of a control-grid, which is a tangible aspect of the 'Scientific Dictatorship' that is being weaved around us daily.

Brief assessment
----------------
Scan-It Operation Checkpoint Toy XRay is an excellent educational toy meant to prepare our children for two of the more desirable professions of the future: baggage scanner and fearful traveler. However, certain elements essential to a well-rounded Scanner education are missing.

Background
----------
The Homeland Security Professional Scanner... profession is one of the few that can't be massively outsourced (yet) and, to my knowledge, it is only available to US citizens and possibly legal residents. The academic requirements are light to nil, the skill set minimal and the benefits are good. This toy teaches our children nearly all they would need to know in order to pass the stringent HSPS levels 1 and 1-advanced exams and thus be qualified to working in this most exciting and fast-growing field.

As a baggage scanner, one can interact with people of diverse backgrounds and cultures, get a pretty good idea of what they carry in their bags and get to examine their shoes, inside and out. The senior professionals earn the privilege of performing full body searches on suspects. Additional benefits come from the Scanners being given the first pick at confiscated contraband including toy guns and ammo, nail clippers, sippy cups and even the latest in Swiss Army knives and disposable Bic lighters and, if lucky, rare and exquisite beauties such as the Ty Homeland - Rooster.

Playability
-----------
Scan-It Operation Checkpoint Toy XRay will allow children hours of fun-filled learning and civic education while, at the same time, developing a set of real, marketable, in demand skills.

When scanning gets boring the bored... get to travel. Our children can switch roles and play the part of a mysterious but fearful traveler flying around the country in search of a job and subjected to frequent scans, small items confiscations, delays, and sometimes full cavity searches and enhanced interrogation or even involuntary detention/rendition. Our children will learn about the dangers of placing anything 'metal' into their luggage but, and here I am pointing to one of the major shortcomings, the toy does NOT detect other obviously dangerous items such as 'water' and the various 'powders' which, as we all know, pose a great danger to our security and peace of mind.

Shortcomings
------------
As good and useful as this toy may be, I would have expected a lot more. Missing are the secret 'no fly' lists, the small carbon footprint portable and recycling waterboarding station, the plastic handcuffs, the bags to be placed on the travelers heads, the taesers, the traditional hand guns. They are not standard components of what could have been a complete scanning/enhanced interrogation simulation and not even as optional add-ons to be purchased separately. I can only hope that a new and improved release will contain these elements.

Hope for the future and beyond
------------------------------
Meanwhile, I'm still looking for a no-warrant wiretapping board game and a real, Made in the USA, Constitution shredder.

I bought this for my children. Everything changed on 9/11/01. America is going through a change - for the better. People really just had too many rights. That has been remedied. This year will bring a lot more changes, too. I was raised to believe in the "Bill of Rights" but those are archaic and part of a bygone era. My children will never be taught the Bill of Rights, nor the Constitution. They will be taught to stand in line and submit to the proper authority. This must be done. Americans all around the nation have already chosen to submit. My children will not be left behind.

The whole world is changing, moving towards a new age. Personal Freedom has become a danger to the species. One must revoke the right to privacy in order to remove suspision, or they must be made to pay the consequences. We're all in this together.

The laws have already been passed. The enforcement has only now begun. Watch for more implementation this summer! A new dawn, a new world, a new way of life. My children will be ready. They will inherit this new world, and they will not remember the old. (scary, huh?)

I mean, sure, once I got it in there i was somewhat protected from the rest of the clawing... but in no way did it help me locate or gauge how bad the brake was.

We did our best, but lets just say I have also lost confidence in the Playschool Dr. Kit.

I was hoping to use this product to determine whether the children in my building have in their posession any toys containing secret government listening devices, terrorist bombs, or yummy candy. You can never be too careful around kids these days!

Imagine my surprise when I learned that the so-called "Toy XRay" doesn't x-ray toys at all. In fact, it doesn't x-ray anything! The product appears to be nothing but a cheap prop, not the useful scanning tool its name would seem to imply. I have no idea who would want a non-functional x-ray machine. Maybe the same people who buy those bogus "protected by a security system" stickers for their house windows.
