For Next Ramadan…

playmobil… I’m *so* getting my kids a Playmobil Security Checkpoint set. If only to reward all the wonderful commenters over at Amazon.com — such a great outlet for choice snark at the expense of ludicrous products and brands.

But I do agree with most of the disappointed parents: the set is far from complete. Where is the cattle prod, the taser, the back room for the “special scrutiny” of five-year olds who happen to have the same name as a wanted terrorist? Why is the woman with the wand not 200 pounds overweight? And where’s the line of frustrated travellers about to miss their connection?
