Why Airport Security Sucks

Flying sucks. We all know it. We do our best to just embrace the misery and those 3 oz. baggies with your lip glosses of doom and terrorist-friendly mouthwash and explosive breast pumps (yes, mine was actually tested. Anyway)  Then there's that whole striptease at security behind Those People, the ones who act surprised when they are asked to take off their shoes and belts and jackets and jewelry and meanwhile that final boarding call they keep announcing? Yeah, that's your flight. And you're not going anywhere. 

Airport security sank to a new low last week when they spotted something suspicious in the sock of a Canadian traveller and his girlfriend. Unconvinced it wasn't something fishy, they retrieved the box and opened, revealing the engagement ring the guy was going to surprise his girlfriend with. 

Poor guy had to scrap his plans of a romantic Caribbean proposal and popped the question on the spot. 

She said yes. 

Security said that's great. Now take those shoes off and get back in line, buddy.
