According to Daniel Rubin of the Philadelphia Inquirer, Ryan Thomas had a bad experience while trying to board a flight to Disney World. Ryan, a four-year old boy with malformed ankles and weak leg muscles, wears leg braces to help him stand and walk. Well, on his way to Disney World, he had to pass through passenger screening and was ordered to remove his leg braces by a Transportation Security Administration agent. His parents objected, but the TSA agent insisted that Ryan go through the metal detector by himself without the leg braces. His parents could not even carry Ryan through.
The TSA claims this action was against their policies, yet it was done. A small boy was humiliated and put in danger, because the TSA agents apparently do not understand TSA polices. You can now rest well tonight knowing the brave people at the TSA are keeping our skies safe from handicapped preschoolers.

Drop the Deduction or I'll Shoot
The Internal Revenue Service is buying shotguns. Specifically, they are buying 60 Remington Model 870 Police RAMAC #24587 12 gauge pump-action shotguns.
With such a short barrel (14"), these are very aggressive weapons. This is not a weapon designed to wound. It is designed to kill instantly. One shot from a shotgun like this could easily kill a full-grown man. Shotguns like this are ideal for storming houses, engaging in close-quarters combat, and killing anyone who resists.
Hmm, what do you think the IRS has planned? This acquisition is probably part of their dependant-reduction program. It is nice to know the IRS is opting for stopping power when selecting weapons.
On the bright site, the IRS has good taste in weapons. Here is something very similar to what they are buying: http://www.remingtonle.com/shotguns/870tactical.htm. (The IRS shotguns will have an upgraded adjustable stock.) These are very nice, functional weapons, and any gun owner would want one in his/her collection.
As a private citizen, it is not legal for you to own a shotgun like this without a special permit, payment of extra fees, and submission of a lot of paperwork. This sort of weapon has been deemed too deadly to be owed by law-abiding citizens. At least you get the pleasure of buying one for the IRS when you file your taxes this year.
Pay your taxes or else!
