Protected By Idiots

A bunch of soldiers were coming back from Afghanistan and had been searched thoroughly before ever leaving there. They all had guns, but no bullets. M-14 rifles and some 9MM pistols. Some had M-240B machine guns. They were required to all get off the plane in Indianapolis (which I’m ashamed to say is my home town) and searched again. Why, I don't know. Apparently some nameless, faceless bureaucrat decided to search the men who are REALLY protecting us. One soldier was required to give up his NAIL CLIPPERS because “they could be used as a weapon." Even though the entire group BRISTLED with deadly weapons they were allowed to have on the plane, since they were American soldiers. The TSA agent was asked why the armed soldier needed to give up his nail clippers and the pimply-faced TSA agent who probably had not begun to shave yet answered, “You can use them as a weapon.” Apparently they've never heard of a "butt-stroke." This is how we are being “protected.” I’d rather protect myself. (Just common sense)
