Travel Fail



If you're as bored at work as I am, you've already discovered the joys of Fail Blog. This little gem popped up a few days ago. I knew that the TSA was strict about what items make their way onto planes, but when did we crack down on pants? What did pants ever do to anyone? Pants are one of the five most docile articles of clothing you can pack. I blame the proliferation of cargo pockets. Of course people are going to be fearful of your pants when they contain any number of secret compartments hiding mysterious items like wallets, passports and hard candies.

So next time you're heading to the airport, leave your pants at home. The TSA is sure to appreciate how easy it is to search you while you're in tightie whities and your baggage won't be flagged. And don't get cocky by trying to smuggle gas in your pants. As you can see above, that would be a double-whammy.
