Security Conscious
Here's the latest from the Playmobil range, unfortunately not available for export outside the USA due no doubt to restrictions placed by the Department for Homeland Security:
"The woman traveler stops by the security checkpoint. After placing her luggage on the screening machine, the airport employee checks her baggage. The traveler hands her spare change and watch to the security guard and proceeds through the metal detector. With no time to spare, she picks up her luggage and hurries to board her flight!"
Anyhow, it's yours for a mere $55, and if you hurry over to the Amazon.com site you can, and should, read how much this is appreciated by those who can get their hands on it, for example "I like the basic idea. I applaud Playmobile for attempting to provide us with the tools we need to teach our children to unquestioningly obey the commands of the State Security Apparatus..." though some had reservations " This is just a sop to the authoritarians among us. I am holding out for the release of the Guantanemo Playset."
The enthusiastic response to this item is in distinct contrast to the thumbs-down given earlier to that classic A Million Random Digits with 100,000 Normal Deviates from the RAND Corporation, now with Look Inside!
