But We're Still Frisking Old Ladies at the Airport.
Apparently it's no biggie to cross into the US from a foreign country carrying "a homemade sword, a hatchet, a knife, brass knuckles and a chain saw stained with what appeared to be blood" (based on this news report).
As if that weren't bad enough, apparently you're allowed to enter the country with a really bad haircut, too.
Oh well, at least the border authorities confiscated all those weapons. What does one do with a confiscated chainsaw? I assume it will end up with the deadly toenail clippers and needlenose pliers I had to surrender to the TSA the last time I took a flight out of town.

The Daily Haiku
Yes, I'm all about the haiku. With enough beer in me, I can even talk in haiku, an ability my fiancée finds far less impressive than I do.
