Priceless

On the one hand, what does this say about our society?

On the other hand, the user reviews are hilarious.

I wonder if Persian Barbie gets profiled...

In order to be more realistic it has an "airport size" dial. When set to "LAX" the security is slack and surly. When set to "Timbukto" the security is hyperactive...and surly.

It's good to know there are still clever people in our society. I bet the Nazis made cool toys too. Other good ones:

There were some reviews of the vibrating Nimbus 2000 broom from the Potter movies. A quote from one that I remember is "even my 17 year old daughter enjoys playing with it!"

That would be wrong, even if it is common sense.
It would be safer to search 80 year old white women and give the guys wearing towls on their heads named mohammed a pass.

By senorglory - See all my reviews

Back in high school, I was a big fan of the Beaver Finger. Pretty much all I wanted to do on a friday night.

You could buy this, (from Amazon no less!) to test your checkpoint!

That's farking funny. Is this real or has someone made it up? There are some fantastic other products like the Playmobil Radar Patrol -

Quote: "...Junior was truly inspired by the toy, setting up a roadblock in the kitchen right behind the door where he couldn't be seen..."

And the Police Checkpoint -

Quote: "This playset is one of the best purchases I have made for my three-year-old. In the past, when we have been stopped at roadblocks, or when during one of Daddy's arrests, he would start crying uncontrollably. Now, after playing with this for the past several months, he is perfectly docile.

As an adjunct to this product, I would also recommend that you purchase the Playmobil Armed Standoff Playset, Fisher-Price Little People Battering Ram, and the Nerf Tear-Gas Canister Deployment Gun.

Bill of Rights sold separately. "

That's made my day!

Not at all!

Those are training aids for the people that actually work there.
