Have you ever wanted to inspire your child to the mediocre heights of a federal airport screener?

This has got to be some sort of tell-tale; don’t expect airports to become anymore pleasant anytime soon. The toy is a manifestation of an American security fetish; it is indicative of an appalling faith in government. Other than foiling plots at clean teeth and hydration, airport security fails utterly to detect hidden weapons. Now, I would never dream of accusing a government employee of efficiency, but when your failure rate is as high as 95% one has to seriously question these sorts of security schemes.
