James Carville has a plan to make airport security more efficient. But it's not one we're likely to see in the next White House directive.

The plan, as he explained it on the Tony Kornheiser Show in DC this morning:

"What I want is, let me pay for something, give me a safe flyer card, and then y'know, go measure my penis and let me get on the airplane."

It's not clear if Carville has discussed his plans with TSA officials or what, if any, value the length of his ragin' cajun' has to national security.

Audio below.

Carville...have to appreciate that comment. No one in the GOP can even whisper 'penis'....
Sailormarlowe probably refers to it as his John Thomas.

Marinus,

everytime I see your avatar, a GI circa 1943, I'm reminded of my years in the Army

lol...its a cropped picture that doesnt contain the entire caption. It started circulating in last few years. Most everyone (senior enlisted) in a leadership position has one stashed somewhere in the service...In its entirety is says "why dont you come in and sit down and have a good hot cup of shut the fuck up." As an old army dog I know you appreciate that.

It's older than that. I've had an LJ icon with it for at least 8 years, and it was around long before I nicked it. :)

No, not at all. I'm sure there's a site devoted to the topic. A paysite even. (races to register measureup.com)

Setting aside the penis point, this has been tried. It was called "Clear," and the enterprise folded in mid-2009. Now the dedicated lines they maintained at airports -- for those who were willing to fork over some pretty serious cash and undergo such procedures as retinal scans -- are back in business for the rest of us.

I'm confused. Isn't that Carville's penis on top of his shoulders?

Republican men are insecure and crack jokes about other men's d*cks.

Democratic men are secure and crack jokes about their own d*cks.

Discuss.

Not much to say other than, "I wish I'd said that."

I'll ponder this all day. I might imagine a Joe Biden v. Mitch McConnell competition in connection.

They would need to add a magnifying glass to the Naked Machine for that, James, like the one they use in order to see Mary Matalin's brain. But not as intense as the electron microscope they need to locate Mary's compassion.
