Mark Sable Detained by TSA for 'Unthinkable' Script

Comics writer Mark Sable was detained by the TSA during a domestic flight yesterday when they discovered a script in his luggage for 'Unthinkable,' his Boom! Studios series about a government think tank that brainstorms potential terrorist plots, which are later carried out. Apparently they found the script in a random search, and became concerned that Sable -- who imagines potential terrorist plots in the series -- might be trying to carry them out.

"Your Papers Please"... TSA Goons now routinely editing Laptops, books, scripts...

Can't we do anything about these knuckle-dragging Neanderthal Rent-a-cop Fascists that are clogging up our airports? WTF?

1. We could pressure our elected officials to disband the TSA
Defunding it would be a start...

5. Like anything that has drawings with balloons over the head with words in 'em?
I think TSA is off their collective rocker. Now Betty can't tell Veronica that Cheney sucks?

10. He'd have been better off with Reggie--Reggie had a bit more cash!
Poor old Jughead always seemed to be the Fifth Wheel!

8. THAT is how you get rid of or emasculate the TSA....
...tell our congresscritters and the airlines that you will not fly again until the TSA is gone.

9. Obama needs money for health care.......
Here you go... $$$$... save how many Billions a year on the TSA?

Many people forget the TSA was the total creation of George Bush's wet dream after 911.

They really are making it miserable to fly (more miserable that it already is) They are part of the 'problem', not solution.

11. Remember when "Thought Crimes" and "Future Crimes" were Science Fiction.
Welcome to America.
Run by "New Democrats" and "Old NeoCons".
