This Week's Waste of Time
Playing God as Airport Security
By James Renovitch, 10:26AM, Thu. Jul. 9, 2009
OK, look, I’m on vacation, and every moment I spend thinking about blog posts is time that could be spent on the beach getting sand in inappropriate places. So I’ll make this quick.
In honor of air travel and the pleasures that come with the inscrutable security checks we have a game called Airport Security. Set the level of security alert from “fickle” to “knee-jerk” and prepare to search, confiscate, intimidate, confuse, and generally violate innocent sky-goers. Security alerts come fast and furious as everything from Preparation-H to pants are said to be a safety hazard and must be removed. The game is impossibly hard and won’t last more than a few minutes but the joke gets old right around that time, so that’s for the best.

Enjoy.
