I can guarantee you that if I’m stuck in a three-hour line at airport security, and someone in a clown suit walks up, punches WILL be thrown. Which is why this is a terrible idea.
In case you haven’t heard, the TSA lines at airports are as bad as they’ve ever been right now. And it’s because there are more people flying, and a lower budget for security screeners.
So the airports have a brilliant solution to the problem . . . hiring people to ENTERTAIN everyone stuck in line.
Like, at Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport, they’re having miniature horses walk around. In Seattle and Atlanta, people are playing live music. In Denver, they’re handing out candy. And in San Diego, they have CLOWNS performing.
And if you’re thinking “Why don’t the airports put that money toward more staff at security?” . . . it’s because they can’t. The money for TSA can only come from the federal government, so the airports are basically powerless right now.
They COULD hire their own private security to replace the TSA, but that’s so complicated that it would take months. So for now, just get to the airport three hours early and watch the clowns. (NBC News)
