    Wow. What an absolutely stupid policy! So TSA thinks a cursory visual glance is somehow increasing security when every single carry bag is already digitally imaged. Pure security theater. I cannot believe this is real.

      Final Thoughts

      While the idea of requiring fully transparent bags at TSA might actually speed up the security process, you can breathe a sigh of relief. This is just a joke as part of our annual April Fools’ Day tradition here at Upgraded Points, and we are hugely appreciative of everything that TSA officers do to keep air travel safe.

      Your opaque carry-ons are safe, for now.

    Given enough eyeballs, all prohibited items are shallow.
