Shep: ‘Don’t Say Nobody Warned You When Some TSA Agent Starts Touching Your Pie’

video
» 24 comments

When it comes to the TSA and its “enhanced” security protocols, well Fox’s Shepard Smith is going into Katrina mode–well, sort of.

Put it this way: he’s on fire.

You may already have seen Shep warn that “if you touch my junk, I’m going to file a lawsuit against you,” and he took his displeasure over “junk touching” pat downs directly to TSA Chief John Pistole. But now we may have seen Shep at his sarcastic best. In a fifty second bit of brilliance on Studio B Tuesday, Smith took the TSA’s own holiday guidelines to task:

“Hey folks, if you’re planning to fly to grandma’s or whatever and you want to take some food along, keep this in mind: you can’t take cranberry sauce, no cologne, no creamy dips, no spreads, no cheeses, no peanut butter, no gift baskets with food items, no salsa, no jams, no salad dressings. No gravy, no jellies, no jams, no lotions, no maple syrups, no oil, no vinegar, no salad dressing, no salsa, no sauces, no soups, no wine, no liquor, no beer. And of course, no snow globes. Death by snow globe can be a horrible thing.

If only it was a bit shorter, it ought to be a ringtone. It’s that good.

Smith adds:

You can take pies and cakes through the security checkpoint, but be advised, they are subject to additional screening. So if your pies and cakes don’t like an additional pat down, don’t put them through screening.

Amen, brother. Amen. And travelers, don’t say nobody warned you when some TSA agent starts touching your pie.

Watch it–over and over again–here, from Fox:

    Ha!

    Haha, good ol’ Shep.

    I thought he was talking about something else when he said “pie”. Good to know he was talking about actual pie. LOL!

  • Big_F-ing_Deal

    It’s stupid to subject all pies to additional screening. An Apple pie is never going to hurt anyone. They are as American as …well….Apple Pie. Florida Key Lime pies and Boston Cream pies are also harmless.

    It’s those fucking Date pies and Lamb pies that we have to watch out for. You know, those pies that come from “over there”.

    What I’m suggesting is…..pie profiling.

    This is also funny:

    Limbaugh said: “The imposter got into the equivalent of the White House in Afghanistan. Did they not ask this guy for some kind of identification? They clearly didn’t. They clearly didn’t ask this guy for his birth certificate. How in the world could they trust in a leader and even give money to somebody who has not been properly vetted? Well, because it happened here in the United States. We have an imposter for all intents and purposes serving in the White House.”

    Does this mean no more “pie-in-the-sky” dreaming?

    Obama & the progressive’s (liberals) idea of security:

    Treat Grandma like a criminal, but give terrorists who slaughter innocent people American civil rights.

    10,000 terrorist attacks committed by Radical Islamists over the past decade…but don’t you dare “profile”!

    I hate your politics, but this ranks up there as one of my favorite rebuttals ever!

    Well done sir, well done.

    They could do it like at Warsaw International Airport : Search you after you get off the plane .

    And they do it here now .

    ROTCH-GROPING IS FOR THE LITTLE PEOPLE: TSA: Some gov’t officials to skip airport security. “Cabinet secretaries, top congressional leaders and an exclusive group of senior U.S. officials are exempt from toughened new airport screening procedures when they fly commercially with government-approved federal security details.” Yeah, that’ll go over well.

    Israel is not a model for civil liberties so you may want to find another example.

    And of course the TSA profiles. They profile and that is why they also make these highly publicized intrusions on everyone as cover. They have any Islamic person of color or dress under observation the moment they walk into the airport.

    Shep is so talented!

    He can make even Thanksgiving fare sound lascivious!

    don’t say nobody warned you when some TSA agent starts touching your pie.

    For some reason the movie American Pie comes to mind, and my thoughhts of the TSA pat downs….

    There are law enforcement people of all kinds walking around airports. Do you doubt that? And they will naturally profile, because even Jesse Jackson does that.

    Shep has arguably the highest approval ratings of any evening newsreader, because he manages to appear sincere. Diane Sawyer can occasionally pull that off, & even Brian Williams on a blue moon, but forget about Couric and the CNN replacements of Campbell Brown.

    “Death by snowglobe can be a horrible thing.”

    THAT is why I love Shepard Smith. A fine, FINE man.
