Ray gun from the future.....seen as imminent threat to TSA safety

There is something seriously sick with governments at the moment, I feel like I'm in a dream and about to wake up from this stupidity.

I'd blame it on America and the "fall of Rome" (I think even the most ardent are seeing the crumbling of an empire) but I think its just as bad in Australia and other countries.....

I seriously don't understand how we got here......
