463: Dead Hand of Bureaucracy
TSA Security Theater, Elderly Screening and 1937 Birthdays
New TSA guidelines allowing passengers aged 75 and older to keep their shoes and light jackets on are dismissed as "security theater." The hosts argue this contradicts previous claims that terrorists could be of any age. They debate the logistics of "priority lines" at Oakland Airport and mock the arbitrary nature of using a 1937 birth year as a cutoff for being considered non-dangerous.
