    Your Evil Intent by Llewellyn H. Rockwell, Jr.

    this is pretty funny, bascially the TSA is told that any emotion that a person has that isn't happy means they are a terrorist. So next time you're at the airport, just smile like crazy because ,if you're happy, clearly you can't be a terrorist.
