I'm sure you'll all feel a little safer after reading this. I know I do.
The guy who was in charge of FEMA in the aftermath of Katrina was a pinhead, but he's got nothing on Janet Napolitano. She should have been fired long, long ago. But Obama seems to love the job she's doing. Based on what, I wonder? The absence of breast milk terrorism? Or the fact that people are learning that they can be made to dance like puppets, and we are powerless to stop it? "Of the people, by the people?....Fuck the people."

Lihue, HI (KITV) -- A Hawaiian mom says she was humiliated when asked to prove her breast pump was real at an airport.
The woman says she was flagged for additional screening at the Lihue Airport Wednesday because of her electric breast feeding pump.
She claims agents told her she couldn't take the pump on the plane because the bottles in her carry-on were empty.
"I asked him if there was a private place I could pump and he said no, you can go in the women's bathroom. I had to stand in front of the mirrors and the sinks and pump my breast in front of every tourist that walked into that bathroom. I was embarrassed and humiliated and then angry that I was treated this way.
When the bottles were full, she was allowed back on the plane.
The TSA is apologizing, saying the agent made a mistake.
The agency released a statement, saying in part: "We accept responsibility for the apparent misunderstanding and any inconvenience or embarrassment this incident may have caused her."
The TSA recently changed screening procedures to allow women to carry breast milk onto planes without testing it.
However, breast pumps may require additional screening.
