Last straw! Any credibility that the TSA had is now gone. I can twist my mind around and very grudgingly accent a toenail clipper as a weapon even the liquids, too. But if the TSA can not fucking figure out tennis rackets or golf clubs. The TSA is beyond stupid.
Do TSA employ people with any IQ?

No, I believe they're required to undergo surgery to remove any intellect they may have. They also nip the sense of humor while digging around in the brain.
Also, a the sense of shame.

Want me to hit you with one?
Yes, it's stupid, but in the realm of stupidity, it's of course a handheld weapon, or cover for one.
Just need to set up a sterile area, changing rooms, and we can change in front of a TSA guard into hospital gowns or the like, and they'll vacuum bag every thing we've got , and then chute it to the plane.
Really, it's for the children.

I wonder what they would do if you responded to them with "Yes Fuckhead", "No Fuckhead", or "None of your business, Fuckhead".
What could they do to you?

No, I do not want to be hit with one. I know a racket can be a blunt object in which to hit people. So can
1) golf clubs
2) Ipads
3) bottles
4) books
5) shoes
6) canes
7) umbrellas (have a friend who travels with a tactical umbrella - basically can beat the shit out of a watermelon or person and still keep the rain off your head)
The list goes on.....
Of course we are forget the first blunt object humans ever used their limbs. Should we have the TSA decide to take away arms and legs next. Maybe everybody should be strapped into the chair. Whoops also forgot another weapon - teeth. So people will need to be muzzled too.
That does not include the thousand of other objects that can be weaponized. From belts, ties, keys, to sporks.
The first reason why I give up is, what terrorist in their messed up mind who try to take over a plane with a tennis racket. Never mind if some idiot started getting brisk with a racket, the other passengers people would take the person down and proceed to show why soccer is a superior sport. Never mind I do not think there is room enough to swing.
The second reason is because well, there comes a point where you can not go any further in providing security before it becomes ridiculous in context on what you are trying to provide. You thought helicopter parents where bad try helicopter security and police.

If you're offensive enough, I can melt you down with my glare.
