Long before pat downs and body scanners I would laugh at the TSA's protocols and say its was merely there to make grandparents feel safe. Today they call that Security Theater. According to wikipedia, "Security theater" is a term that describes security countermeasures intended to provide the feeling of improved security while doing little or nothing to actually improve security. Honestly we all live with and accept risk in our everyday lives.
So despite the fact that the TSA fails to stop loaded guns from being carried onboard a plane they insist on the need to spend billions of dollars on naked body scanners.
You just have to love the new All Terrain Vehicles (ATV) that are replacing the HMMWV. Oshkosh already has a $1 Billion contract to produce 2,244 of their M-ATVs.

Its pretty bad when the guy who runs "one of the most dangerous countries in the world" for jounalists calls your country out for lack of free speech.
Typically I would say, "why didn't I think of that" but well quite honestly like most men (Note: I celebrate 13 years of marriage next month) I already did. I just failed to make it into a tactical application. All jokes aside this does make perfect sense, unless you "go commando" no one wants to get caught with their boxers err panties down. The product is called Pant Ease (sounds like panties).
Adam Harvey wants to make man-makeup cool again. He wants to combine my three favorite things; runway models, camo face paint and technology.
Spike TV has a series of gun related shows that just started up. Some of these are targeted towards the "never shot a gun" crowd but even that makes sense as the primary audience of Spike TV is likely a 16 to mid 20s male that is not currently watching the Outdoors channel.
