Does the right to free speech cover writing 'Kip Hawley is an idiot' on your luggage? :p

Well that's bollocks. So now a government run and funded agency, is imposing on our freedom of speech? Sure, the airport is a private place, but that would simply mean getting kicked out, and that would by private airport security, not government run and funded TSA, and that would mean NOT arrested.

EDIT: Indeed it is. Thank you Wikipedia.

EDIT2: Oh, and one last thing. *cough*Benedict Arnold Masks*cough*

They should start making bags with that printed on them.

I now feel the need to make a line of carry-on bags for the small amounts of personal care products you can bring, and they all will have Kip Hawley is an idiot monogrammed on each and every one. In multiple places.

Isn't that almost exactly what I just said?

I was busy typing when you posted, but how do you feel about a limited partnership and a 50%-50% split? :D

Print "Kip Hawley is an idiot!" on one side and "We will not be silent" in Arabic (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/5297822.stm) on the other, and I might well buy one.

American airline security makes me chuckle. Did you see this:
This means that Halal or Kosher meal preferences will not show up, while requests for a vegetarian meal will.
So, if you're a fundamentalist Muslim you won't show up, but if you're a vegatarian you'll be screened as a security threat.

Sounds good. I don't see why we couldn't expand into a line of clothing either. Maybe even a perfume.

Think they sell those shirts on ebay?

Nice to see how freedom of speech is yet again assaulted. Calling someone an idiot is hardly a threat. Nice way for security to harass a law abiding person however

Yep.
