WTF?

This can’t possibly be real:

Comics writer Mark Sable was detained and intensively questioned by the TSA for carrying a script for an upcoming comic book about a writer who is detained and intensively questioned by the TSA for writing a comic about terrorism.

So glad the TSA is diligently smoking out all of those evildoer comic book guys.

    You just couldn’t make this shit up. This is either a seriously freaky case of life imitating art, or that guy’s got a crystal ball hidden somewhereI’m sure glad to see the TSA are keeping America safe, though. Because comic writers pose just as serious a threat to America as a liberal media bias.

    How did they know what was in the script? When TSA checks your bags, do they read all printed material in them?

    I was trying to figure out why the TSA would rifle through this guy’s paperwork. I heard he commented to them that they were missing the irony of that moment.

    Sadly, it well could be true!The last time I flew (2003 I think) I went to Vegas which required a “lay-over” at “Dallas/Fort Worth” and I was walking with a cane.I was asked to relinquish the cane and remove my shoes with nothing in sight to sit on.I asked for something to sit on and someone did bring me a metal folding chair, but sheesh!From what I’ve seen the average IQ of these “security screeners” is about 70 at best!

    The funniest thing is, they sat there and read his script and couldn’t fathom that people write comic books about things other than superheroes.

    Detained for a “comic book about a writer who is detained and intensively questioned by the TSA for writing a comic about terrorism.”Stupidity taken to a whole new level: “metastupidity.”

    I’m not really well versed here, but I’ve read that there’s been an ongoing effort to censor comics – somehow in the US, comics are considered subversive. I’ve never understood it… but I wonder if this ongoing issue has anything to do with this crazy story.QT
