TheJimmyAndEricShowMy friend Jimmy successfully navigated a TSA security checkpoint in a speedo swimsuit at the Salt Lake City International Airport on Tuesday, November 23, 2010 with the words, 'SCREW BIG SIS' written on his back.
Why the speedo? With the way TSA screening is going it only seems like the next logical requirement for getting on an airplane. Soon TSA will be having us strip down to make the screening process more efficient, but not if we take a stand. In this sense Jimmy was merely obliging the TSA, but he was also exposing the ridiculousness of their policies. With the full-body scanners and TSA agents putting their hands down our pants, let's be honest, a speedo is pretty modest.
If you're traveling this holiday season, join the protest and let 'Big Sis' know she's being watched too!

This week we try to get answers from Walmart managers, customer service representatives and every other outlet available but come up empty handed.Walmart Special Part 1: Big Sis Teams-Up with WeimartTheJimmyAndEricShow2011-01-06 | Please post this on Facebook and email it to your friends!
Jimmy and Eric hit up Walmart to interview customers about Walmart's new program with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) called, "If You See Something, Say Something." Walmart is displaying a video message from the government at checkout stands in select Walmarts, asking customers to watch each other and report suspicious activity.
Tune in next week for Part 2.TSA Speedo Protest JFKTheJimmyAndEricShow2010-12-15 | The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey resorts to inventing laws in an attempt to stop a passenger from making his flight. Once they realize their efforts are futile, they depend on a private corporation to enforce their imaginary laws. TSA and Port Authority officials convince the head of Jetblue security that the passenger, who was not violating any laws, constitutes a "risk". Jetblue ultimately bans the passenger from ever flying with the airline again.
This incident is a microcosm of the increasingly invasive measures of the government and their increasing dependence on private institutions to enforce their "laws". Mega-giant Wal-Mart recently teamed up with the Department of Homeland Security to implement a program of civilian-to-civilian espionage. Wal-Mart customers are encouraged to spy on and report their neighbors, friends, family, and fellow-citizens and will be exposed to a government message on video screens at check-out counters in a quantum leap of Orwellian methods in the US. A company called Citizen Concepts created a new iPhoneApp insultingly titled "PatriotApp" that allows users to report "suspicious activity" to multiple goverment agencies from their phone.
May we now and forever maintain an attitude of, "DOWN WITH BIG SIS!"
