Ted Rall for July 11, 2009
Transcript:
Sheena drove to the airport so slowly that she caused 120 other drivers to each arrives 5 minutes late to their destinations. Her putziness at the security checkpoint cost 40 of her fellow travelers 3 minutes each. (Man: Is that a laptop in your bag? We have to put it through again.) Her finest monument took place after the plane landed. Fumbling with her bags forced 360 passengers to wait to the aisle for 2 minutes. America's slowpokes: heroes of population control. (Woman: 24 man-hours wasted in a day- I've killed a whole person!)

I don’t relate; for me, it’s not that I like driving fast, I just don’t like having cars ahead of me.

More of Rall repeating his mantra “Slow is bad” ad nauseum. C’mon Ted, what else do ya got?

I started to estimate the cost to American business of the idiocy perpetuated by the TSA at airport security lines, but it got ridiculous. Just for starters, you’re supposed to be at the airport an hour before departure time, two hours for international – and more if an alert is on – which basically adds half and hour to an hour longer than old times; you have to spend time in a security line doing nothing, getting your shoes scanned for something they can’t see (TSA people do no better than chance at finding things like plastique), and taking out bags of liquid because of an impossible plan by pseudo-terrorists (the supposed liquid explosive is impossible) – it adds up FAST…

I propose a mandate: that all people, except minors, (don’t sound the “To Catch a Predator” alarm just yet) to go about their business without wearing any clothes at airports to make things more agile.
And give Megan Fox air traveling discounts whenever possible.

I deal with clueless tourists, wandering aimlessly and getting in my way, every day when I’m trying to commute to and from work. They should be banned from public transportation hubs during rush hour!

Hey, to paraphrase Scott Adams who coined the term, everybody is an induhvidual at some point.
