lol@TSA

Oh TSA how you make me laugh. So I was perusing their website today to get the latest on what I can and cannot put in my carry-on for an upcoming flight...take a look at the list.
WTF! Note that this falls under the heading of "Makeup, Medication, Personal Items & Special Needs Devices." They really need to add "robots" to that in order to prevent confusion, or perhaps create a separate section of "Sentient Beings." Just to be explicitly clear, they have indicated that the robots must be toys and not actually full fledged transformers (sorry Optimus Prime, looks like you'll need to ship yourself next time you want to take a Hawaiian getaway). My concern is that there may be robots simply posing as toys, only to reveal their deadly nature once on board. The last thing we need are laserbeams and buzzsaws flying through the cabin as full-fledged robot warfare breaks out 35,000 ft over the Atlantic.

(Those wishing to verify whether their My Little Pony doll is airworthy can click here to check out the list for themselves).
