The case of the phantom entrenching tool

[Veer_G]

It seems that the TSA takes everything very, very literally, perhaps too literally.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-...tter-jokes.html

A pair from the UK, excited about an upcoming trip to the US, had joked on Twitter about, among other things, "digging Marilyn Monroe up," and "pissing people off on Hollywood Blvd.," both lifted from dialog from an episode of The Simpson's. Unfortunately, one of them also mentioned "destroying America." Oops.

Apparently, the TSA aren't fans of the show, nor are they hip to UK slang, because they were ready for them at LAX, and went so far as to specifically search their luggage for spades and shovels with which they might have completed an assault on Marilyn's eternal rest ...

... or not? [cue eerie music]

Wasn't there something in the news or something a while ago about someone auctioning off a spot above or below Mariyln? Seems that I heard this several years ago.
