  1. I like the precedent that breast bombs set. Obviously TSA agents are going to have to palpate every women passenger’s breast for the safety of our nation. It’s not too long of a step from there to a study showing the possibility of a terrorist injecting explosive substances into his balls, which would result in mandatory handjobs for all male passengers. Government mandated prostitution is on the horizon, folks.

    And the teabaggers say The Government is taking away freedoms!

  2. OMG, you could totally put the stuff from Die Hard 3 in your balls; one part in each testicle…then upon *ahem* climax…

    “BOOM!!”

  3. The women have hips too large to fit comfortably in a 17″ airline seat. I doubt many of them would make it on the plane: the airlines would usher them off “for safety.” “Ma’am, I know you’re height-weight-proportionate, but you’re at 98 percentile for height, and whereas you’re three pounds away from the low end of normal for your height, your hips measure 40″ in circumference so that makes you a lardass in the eyes of the airlines. Besides, no one wants to palpate a mother’s boobs: Tom Leykis said so. Step aside so we can screen the poor but hot 18-year-old girl from Qatar who’s apparently lost her passport.”

  6. How long is it going to be before someone cuts open their fucking head and puts a bomb inside and we all have to fucking acknowledge that there will always be somewhere you can hide a bomb?
