I'm not going to go into the meat of the Denver Post article where the above image appears, describing a defiant TSA Chief John Pistole's appearance before Congress wherein he stood by TSA's naked scanners and "pat-downs".

Therefore we interrupt the previously scheduled programming to engage in a much-needed laugh at our "better's" expense.

Caption contest, anyone? I'll start with a couple. Add your two cents!:

LCR on the TSA offical as played by Senator Larry Craig:

"Thank God, after Congress, I never thought I would have such a satisfying job again..."

LCR on the Poor Traveler being groped:

"Uh, dude, even my wife hasn't done that in years...."

LCR on the TSA official:

Now I know why the TSA immediately hired me when I filled in the little bubble next to, "were you formally a proctologist?"

Sara in Italy opines:

"Is Kevin Jennings the new Obama appointed Safe Airport Security Czar?"

Sara in Italy taking the TSA agent role:

"Is that my hand in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me? "

Reader Ryan taking the role of TSA Agent:

"Turn your head and cough!"

Smitty from The Other McCain opines from a bunker in Afghanistan:

"The TSA inspector, sadly, confirms the Helen Thomas rumor."

Reader Snide Atheist (also proving this is not a left/right issue) on the TSA inspector:

"Damn, I really wish I graduated high school."

Reader Youaintgot on the TSA Inspector:

"Hmm, you don't feel like you're late for a flight!"

Reader Mike takes the James Herriot role for the TSA agent (gross):

"My vet training with horse-birthing techniques may come in handy if this goes from second to third base..."

Reader Phil takes the Pee Wee Herman approach with the TSA agent:

"I used to do this at the adult movie theaters."

Justin offers a fitting TSA public service announcement:

"To reaffirm our commitment to customer service, all TSA security checks now include a complimentary "happy ending.""

Conservative Generation thinks of a back and forth:

Guard: "Let me zip that up for you. There."

Passenger: "I don't mind you cupping my crotch, but do you need to hum as well?"

D.Eris from PolitTea channels the Toe-tapper as well:

"What was once only available in private airport bathroom stalls now available at public screening areas."

Alan as the TSA Agent (or, possibly, the traveler):

"I just want you to know I think it's OK if we still see other people. Call me, though."

Leslie Eastman, Temple of Mut:

"This is taking Obama's Stimulus Package to a whole new dimension!"

SharonLJ:

"Funny ... I wouldv'e taken you for a "dress-left" kinda guy."

Lilac Sunday:

"To encourage public acceptance of X-ray porno scanner, hire Lorena Bobbitt to perform pat-downs."

Will:

"This is just a little prick that might sting a bit, but just between you and me, it's better than creating cancerous cells."

Nick Rowe:

"Here, let me fix that for you. You're hanging a little low on the left."

Proof Positive:

"You called your doctor after four hours of that??"

Shane Atwell:

"Mmmm mmmmmhmm mmmmmm oooooo mmmmmmm aaaaaayeeaaah. Ok you can go."

Barrel Rider:

"Thats not what I envisioned when they said each flight has a happy ending"

Paul Mitchell:

"After Hank won the Ottumwa County 4H Speed Milking Contest three years in a row, he knew he was destined for greatness."

John:

"Um, no, that's not a stick of dynamite!"

Dan:

"Sir, trust me you're pregnant... One leg is already out!!!"

Nick Cabejim:

This isn't the job I envisioned when I was hired as a "Baggage Handler"
