How about if someone tidies the comments up to be URLs?

Most of these comments are full of URLs. You probably mean they should be tidied into *links*, but I don't think the comment system lets us post clickable links except the ones on our names, because of the danger that spammers would post links to online poker and similar sites.

This minor restriction is, of course, necessary and justified in order to protect us from spammers.

I like this way. I see where i'm going and theres a smaller crumb trail in the new window.

If i can't see the URL with a hover, i don't follow the link....

My favorite, from Ed Stein, an editorial cartoonist in the Denver paper (Rocky Mountain News), about the threat of exploding underwear.

One of thes comics (http://images.ucomics.com/comics/sc/2006/sc060815.gif) brings up an interesting point. Several years ago (and maybe still ongoing for all I know) one way that people were defeating drug screening was to put clean urine into their bladder using a catheter.

What's to keep a suicide bomber from doing the same?

NSFW (Not Safe For Work) The (in)famous RyanAir security parody...
http://www.ryanair.com/site/EN/notices.php?notice=060822-ASP-EN

There aren't many liquids dangerous enough to be useful in blowing up a plane, and safe enough to hold in your bladder for a couple hours, even if you're planning to kill yourself at the end of that time anyway.

Hello Bruce,
I've translated 4 pages from a prophetic french comics of the '60s about airports in the year 2000: http://www.gdargaud.net/Humor/ReiserAirports.html

There's a bit more about the author on the page. Hope you like it as it seems to apply quite well to the current situation.

Good airport security comic

Just wait until the TSA watches "12 Monkees" We won't be allowed to breathe on a plane.
PS: go see "La Jetee," the fantastic short on which 12Monkees is based.

not security but safety:

When I need a compilation of all the latest news-related comics, I often grab a copy of The Comic News:

Ann Coulter fights the TSA:

And here are some more naked travellers:

Between this, the Onion, the Daily Show and the Colbert Report, I find a good majority of world news without so much fear and despair laced into the broadcast. Sometimes, they even parody the fear mongers:

Ahhh, sweet irony.

@ dargaud

Thanks for your translation. The "carrying a rocket launcher" line is hilarious. It could be a cartoon all by itself.

Reminds me of the time when the Spinal Tap bassist was forced to pull a foil-wrapped item out of his pants:

there 's one more hit for the dell and airport security.

This one is far away my favourite.
http://www.wondermark.com/d/220.html

I still like:

It's not exactly airport security, but it sure feels like it these days.

Not sure where the original of this came from, but I still get a kick out of this...

What the Terrorists were REALLY thinking...

I don't actually know the name of this comic - I came upon it directly using the Stumble Upon Firefox extension and put it on my own server.

Yesterday's "Reality Check"

http://www.comics.com/comics/reality/archive/reality-20060904.html

A good one on the people affected: http://www.wondermark.com/d/225.html

Even Mentos need to be checked. I was at Charles De Gaulle airport in Paris, on August 18 connecting from a US flight to another destination and had to go through security. The agent found a box of mentos in my carry on bag and asked me to take one out and try to crush it with my fingers, if I could I would not have been able to take them on board since they could have contained gel, if they were hard that was OK. Well I could not crush it, and I offered him to select one and I'll eat it. He declined and let me keep the Mentos.

Not a comic, perse, but something funny in the oakland airport:

Airport security to the Nth degree...
"Boarding Instructions" cartoon by Kinney & Mavrides.

http://www.infinitematrix.net/stories/shorts/boarding_instructions.html

This one's not my favourite and not funny, but I did it and if I link it here people might look at it!!! Omg popularity.

I kinda like all those cartoons. If I were to judge, I'll have hard time deciding which is the best.

And the Onion always steps up to the plate:

OK, Bruce has asked for squid cartoons and airport security cartoons, but when are we going to get to our favorite topic, cryptography? Check out the latest from xkcd.
http://xkcd.com/c153.html

The Sept. 7, 2006 episode of "The Swamp" (a wonderful cartoon from Australia) is quite a good airport security cartoon. The link is at http://www.swamp.com.au -- be forewarned that this site defaulkts to the current day's comic strip, and you will need to look in the "Past Strips" section if you wait too long before looking at today's edition...

Here's my airport security comic, hope you like it!

I don't get the one Bruce Schneier named his favourite in the original post for this thread.

http://images.ucomics.com/comics/wpnan/2006/wpnan060813.gif

It's the one with the teenaged geek approaching the walk-through metal detector and carrying a 2-litre bottle of Diet Coke and a huge box of Mentos. A security officer holding a metal detector wand is looking at the kid and thinks to himself "Uh oh..."

Maybe I'm dense or missed some element of the news reporting that this cartoon is playing on, but I don't get the gag. Can anyone elucidate?

Thx...

> I don't get the one Bruce Schneier named his favourite in the original post for this thread.

There's a dramatic reaction between the two - Just google "coke mentos" and you'll find more references and video demonstrations than you'll ever need.
