Did You Remember To Pack Your Al Qaeda Training Camp Sweatshirt In Your Carry-On?
Of course, if terrorists are going to try to do something dastardly, they'll all be sure to wear and carry their terroristy team colors -- sweatshirts, baseball caps, and travel bags with the ISIS logo.
Knowing this, the geniuses in the pretend cop costumes of the TSA delayed a flight out of JFK because someone on it had a duffel bag with the word "ISIS" -- or what looked like "ISIS" -- emblazoned on it.
From Betsy Akers at Lew Rockwell:
The I-word was instead the "logo of a travel agency appearing similar to ISIS insignia. The travel agency had given out bags with the logo to a travel group on the plane."No matter: this phantom "triggered a security alert. ... the plane and luggage were swept, but nothing was found." No, really? Ten hapless victims were "taken off the plane" and "questioned by police and FBI agents...
As Betsy put it: "Whew! Saved from Insignia!"
RELATED jokeybit: Duhhh...
And from opencarry.org:
So I declare my firearm at check in and get sent over to the TSA with my pelican case. So mr. TSA hero starts sorting through my underwear, never checks the 2 unlocked gun cases. But makes sure to get a good sniff of my underwear. You know to make sure I am not carrying explosive diarrhea.







Even worse this happened AFTER the plane landed.
Suppose there had been bombs? They forced about a hundred people to sit for 90 minutes within the blast radius

Good thing Verizon changed the name of their Isis e-wallet product.

Doing something in secret is hardly proof that it was "dastardly." Any employer of a professional wartime-spy will tell you that.
Maybe you should change one letter?
Reminds me of a recent juvenile series: "Dastardly Dames" - all about notorious women of history.
To my knowledge, none of them was dastardly.

International Secret Intelligence Service, referred to as ISIS, is the name of the fictional spy agency on the TV show "Archer", which has been on FX since 2009. I imagine the TSA morons would freak out at someone wearing this t-shirt.
