5. Since when is a peace sign a terrorist symbol? WTF is this country coming to. Give peace a chance.

6. So Churchill was flashing a peace sign too? I think Mr. Fonda was flashing a "V" for victory.

7.

Aaaack! I hate it when some security chick snaps on her rubber gloves, spreads her fingers and then says, "I'm going to check your breasts now." I feel like telling them to let me know if they find any lumps so that I can notify my oncologist right away.

9. It makes me sick to see that frisking. What?...Do you think Peter Fonda is going to blow up a plane? Or, maybe have a joint? Oh, that would be so devastating! Give me a break!

10. Airport security.....Listen to what the Great George Carlin had to say about it......................They never find anything...it's just an illusion to pacify people..To make white people feel safe.
