TSA funnies

The U.S. Transportation Security Administration has been derided as an ineffective, wasteful government agency that tramples on the constitutional rights of U.S. citizens.
So it’s only fair that the TSA has become a target for ridicule and parody.
Here are some funny TSA graphics I’ve seen online.
Most of them have gone viral and are hard to source. I’ve tried to provide attribution where available. (Top photo from Very Demotivational.)

Terrorist Osama bin Laden mocking TSA patdowns. This one is everywhere on the Internet, including BuzzFeed.


Funny infographic from Bits & Pieces and elsewhere.

Funny TSA infographic from The Onion.


Humorous poster from Demotivational Posters.


TSA Checkpoint sign by Oleg Volk. See articles by The Atlantic and Boing Boing.

The use of Pedobear as the mascot for the TSA is another popular Internet meme. It's been published by About.com and elsewhere.
