I've never been one to beg for presents, but if any of my readers are feeling in the giving mood, I want one of these:
Yes, there is no time like the present to train your child in the art and science of screening and being screened.
Yes, this is real. It's part of the PlayMobil USA airport series.
Here's the photo of all the included parts:
Note the loose gun.
Now is that for the passenger to put in his luggage or for the screener?
Actually, I want to order not just this setting, but most of the figurines and sets PlayMobil sells.
I mean, who doesn't want the prison set with the removable bars so the criminal can break out?
More importantly, I want to be able to find out what happens when Warrior with Wolf steps up to the x-ray machine. Will the TSA screener be brave enough to tell this man he can't bring his wolf or his sword on the plane?

Thanks, Dave, for this link.
It would appear that even young children get excited about airport security, or at least Playmobil USA is banking on that. Now you can buy for your young children the joy of passing through airport security.

The Airport Security Screening Playset -- unfortunately, it's out of stock. They're supposed to email me when it's available again. Concurring Opinions already has one, and reports that it's not very realistic: There was only one passenger to be screen... [Read More]

Post a commentWhat's with replacing the wand with a paddle? Is she getting ready to spank someone?
Just bring out the gimp, and have him bow to the left.
